Description
Sun SPARC Enterprise[TM] Mx000: Information & Troubleshooting fmsp faults.

This document provides information on Fault Events related to the Sun SPARC Enterprise[TM] Mx000 Service Processor's Fault Manager (fmsp). It is directly linked from the FMD Fault Event articles on the Predictive Self Healing Knowledge Article Lookup website (FMA event code lookup) and contains Sun SPARC Enterprise Mx000 platform specific information.

NOTE: While the fault codes detailed in this article can be generated on any FMA enabled Solaris[TM] system (Solaris[TM] 10 or higher), this document ONLY pertains to the codes being generated on a the Sun SPARC Enterprise Mx000 Service Processor.

The Fault Manager (fmsp) is a diagnostic engine consisting of software modules that are responsible for monitoring the hardware or software configuration for error events, diagnosing those events, and performing recovery actions. If something happens that prevents a module from being able to perform its duty one of the fmsp Fault Events detailed in this document is generated. This article is used to determine how to best recover the Sun SPARC Enterprise Mx000 Fault Manager if one of the following error events is encountered.

Please click on the Fault Event Code which has been encountered in your situation and you will navigate to the appropriate section of this article for your Fault Event and the Service Action Plan will be detailed for you:

Steps to Follow
Find the Fault Event Code which has been encountered for details of the appropriate Service Action Plan.

Fault Event

FMD-8000-0W

Fault Description

Under normal operations, the Fault Manager receives error reports from numerous sub-systems and then arranges for the appropriate fault diagnosis and automated responses to be applied.

This fault message indicates that the Fault Manager received an error report to which no automated diagnosis is currently available. This can indicate a mismatch in the versions of various software components, a misconfiguration of the system, automated software may not have been loaded or is currently unavailable, or a defect in the software.

Symptoms

If any daemon with the exception of 'fmd' dies or is terminated, the Extended System Controller Facility (XSCF) will reboot automatically.

Service Action Plan

Step 1

Reboot the Extended System Controller Facility (XSCF).

     xscf> rebootxscf

If the module failure continues proceed to Step 2.

Step 2

Ensure the latest version of XCP firmware is installed on the platform. The latest version of XCP can be downloaded from the Sun Download Center .

In order to view the version of XCP installed:

XSCF> version -c xcp -v

01.09.0000(Reserve) 01.09.0000(Current)

If the module failure continues proceed to Step 3.

Step 3

Sun SPARC Enterprise[TM] M3000

Contact your Authorized Service Provider to schedule the replacement of the MBU_A.

Sun SPARC Enterprise[TM] M4000/M5000>

Contact your Authorized Service Provider to schedule the replacement of the eXtended System Control Facility Unit (xscfu).

Sun SPARC Enterprise[TM] M8000/M9000

In a single xscfu configuration, contact your Authorized Service Provider to schedule 
the replacement of the Active eXtended System Control Facility Unit (xscfu_b or xscfu_c).

In a dual xscfu configuration, you should try to failover to the spare xscfu and see if the errors cease or persist.
     - If the errors cease, contact your Authorized Service Provider to schedule 
       the replacement of the error reporting eXtended System Control Facility Unit (xscfu_b 
       or xscfu_c).
     - If the errors persist, contact your Authorized Service Provider to obtain assistance.
