6.8 Checking the Component Status


6.8 Checking the Component Status
This section describes the procedure for checking the configuration, status, and quantities of the mounted field replaceable units (FRUs).
  1. Execute the showhardconf command.
    The command displays all the FRUs mounted in the SPARC M12-2S and PCI expansion unit and the status of the FRUs. However, it does not display the status of I/O-related components such as PCIe cards and PCI expansion units while the system power is off.
  1. Example: Displayed for the SPARC M12-2S
XSCF> showhardconf -M
SPARC M12-2S;
+ Serial:PZ51618006; Operator_Panel_Switch:Service;
+ System_Power:Off; System_Phase:Cabinet Power Off;
BB#00 Status:Normal; Role:Master; Ver:300ah; Serial:PZ51618006;
+ FRU-Part-Number:CA20369-B17X 003AB/9999999 ;
+ Power_Supply_System: ;
+ Memory_Size:256 GB;
CMUL Status:Normal; Ver:1101h; Serial:PP1617010W ;
+ FRU-Part-Number:CA07855-D201 A1 /9999999 ;
+ Memory_Size:128 GB; Type: C ;
CPU#0 Status:Normal; Ver:4241h; Serial:00000063;
+ Freq:4.250 GHz; Type:0x30;
+ Core:12; Strand:8;
.
.
（Omitted）
  1. Confirm that no FRU has an asterisk (*) displayed in front of it.
    The asterisk (*) is a mark indicating the abnormal state of a FRU, where an error or degradation occurred.
    If a failure has occurred in any unit, see "A.2.2 Checking the Contents of Logs" and "A.2.3 Checking Information on a Component Where a Failure or Degradation Occurred."
  2. Execute the showhardconf -u command.
    The command displays the quantities of mounted FRUs. However, it does not display the quantities of I/O-related components such as PCIe cards and PCI expansion units while the system power is off.
  1. Example: Displayed for the SPARC M12-2S

  1. Execute the showlogs error command.
    Confirm that no error is displayed. If an error is displayed, see "A.2.2 Checking the Contents of Logs."
    If an error is displayed for a system with a 3BB configuration or larger, see "Table A-1 List of Problem Case Examples."
XSCF> showlogs error
  1. Execute the showstatus command.
    When there is no problem, the command displays nothing.
    If a failure has occurred in any unit, an asterisk (*) and the unit status are displayed. See "A.2.3 Checking Information on a Component Where a Failure or Degradation Occurred."
XSCF> showstatus
  1. To implement the initial system settings, go to "Chapter 7 Making the Initial System Settings." Otherwise, log out of the XSCF.
