Diagnostic Tools
There are a variety of diagnostic tools, commands, and indicators you can use to
monitor and troubleshoot the server:
■ LEDs – These indicators provide a quick visual notification of the status of the
server and of some of the CRUs and FRUs.
■ Oracle ILOM firmware – This firmware is located on the service processor and
provides a comprehensive service portal using a command-line interface (CLI) and
browser user interface (BUI) for
■ lights-out management capabilities (such as remote power-on, power-off, etc.)
■ monitoring the health of the environmental subsystem (such as power, fans,
temperature, cover interlock, etc.),
■ and fault management and automated diagnosis capabilities during server
initialization (such as QuickPath Interconnect code and Memory Reference
code) and server runtime
