Description
This document describes how to check LED states on a Blade 8000 and a Blade 8000P chassis.

Symptoms

System dead
Chassis dead
Blade dead
Blade not booting
Unable to log into the CMM
No AC

Purpose/Scope

This document gives details on how to check LED states on a SunBlade [TM] 8000 system and a SunBlade [TM] 8000P system, on both the chassis and the individual blades

The document will describe how to check locally (i.e. if you have physical access to the platform), and remotely using ipmitool commands

Steps to Follow
Steps to follow to check chassis LED status

Sun Blade 8000/8000P Chassis LEDs
The Sun Blade 8000 Modular System provides identical indicator and button functionality on the front and rear of the chassis.

The Front Indicator Module (FIM) is located at the upper left corner of the front panel, just above and to the left of the six power supply modules.

The Rear Indicator Module (RIM) is located at the rear of the chassis, among the chassis power inlets, between AC2 and AC3 inlets.

The FIM and RIM indicator LEDs provide a summary status of the chassis operating state.

Locate Indicator

Service Action Required Indicator

OK indicator

A full description on the state of each LED can be found in the Sun Blade 8000 Series Modular System OIS (see below)

The key LED to note is the Service Action Required Indicator - on indicates that a FRU or CRU within the chassis requires service, or that an external condition needs fixing (such as external ambient temperature or degradation of power).
This LED provides a summary of all other Service Action Required FRU and CRU indicators in the chassis.
It remains Steady On as long as any Service Action Required indicator on any FRU or CRU in the chassis is lit.

Explanation of other LEDs

As you will note from the IPMI output below, there are many LEDs in the system:

LCMM Live CMM (Active CMM) **

RCMM Remote CMM (Standby CMM)**

FIM Front Indicator Module

RIM Rear Indicator Module (mirrors FIM)

PS(0-5) Power supplies

FFM Front Fan Module

RFM Rear Fan Module

NEM Network Express Module

BL(0-8) Blade Servers

Point your browser at the CMM, for example:

or
http://192.12.34.56

See CMM >> System monitoring >> Indicators

Interrogating the LEDs from the CLI

In the ILOM cli, type:
-> show /CH

Look for fault_state=

and drill down to identify where the fault lies
