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 chassis and their status. 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: SPARC M10-4S display example
XSCF> showhardconf -M
SPARC M10-4S;
+ Serial:2081230012; Operator_Panel_Switch:Service;
+ System_Power:Off; System_Phase:Cabinet Power Off;
BB#00 Status:Normal; Role:Master; Ver:2209h; Serial:2081231002;
+ FRU-Part-Number:CA07361-D203 A2 /9999999 ;
+ Power_Supply_System:Single;
+ Memory_Size:512 GB;
CMUL Status:Normal; Ver:0301h; Serial:PP140601D9 ;
+ FRU-Part-Number:CA07361-D251 A4 /9999999 ;
+ Memory_Size:256 GB; Type: B ; (*1)
CPU#0 Status:Normal; Ver:4142h; Serial:00020203;
+ Freq:3.700 GHz; Type:0x20; (*2)
+ Core:16; Strand:2;
Omitted
*1 For a CMU on which the SPARC64 X+ processor is mounted, "Type: B" is displayed. For a CMU on which the SPARC64 X processor is mounted, "Type: A" is displayed.

*2 If the SPARC64 X+ processor is mounted, "3.700 GHz; Type:0x20" is displayed. If the SPARC64 X processor is mounted, "3.000 GHz; Type:0x10" is displayed.
  1. Confirm that no FRU has an asterisk (*) displayed in front of it.
    The asterisk (*) is a mark indicating the abnormal state of an 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: SPARC M10-4S display example

  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."
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.
