Detecting and Managing Faults
When the server encounters a fault, the fault is recorded in a common fault database. The fault
is then reported by the server in one of several ways, depending on the type and severity of the
fault.
These topics explain how to use various diagnostic tools to monitor server status and
troubleshoot faults in the server.
