11.1.4 Checking Failed/Degraded Components


11.1.4 Checking Failed/Degraded Components
By using the showstatus command, you can check some failed or degraded units and components among the FRUs that make up the system. A unit or component whose status is failure is marked with an asterisk (*).

There are five types of status as shown in Table 11-5.
Table 11-5  Component Status
Component Meaning
Faulted The part in question has failed, so the unit is not operating.
Degraded There is a partial failure within the unit, but the unit is continuing to operate.
Deconfigured As a result of failure or degradation in another unit, the unit, including lower-level components, is in the state of degradation, even though it is operating normally.
Maintenance The unit is under maintenance. The replacefru, addfru, or initbb command is running.
Normal The unit is normal.
Operation Procedure
  1. Execute the showstatus command to check the component status.
    A unit whose status is failure is marked with an asterisk (*).
    The following example shows that a CPU and memory on the CPU memory unit (lower) of BB#00 and the PSU of XBBOX#80 have been degraded because of failures.
XSCF> showstatus
BB#00;
CMUL Status:Normal;
* CPU#0 Status:Faulted;
* MEM#00A Status:Faulted;
XBBOX#80;
* PSU#0 Status:Faulted;
  1. The following example shows that memory on the motherboard unit has been degraded because of a failure.
XSCF> showstatus
MBU Status:Normal;
* MEM#0A Status:Faulted;
  1. The following example shows that a CPU memory unit has been degraded because of the degradation of the crossbar unit.
XSCF> showstatus
BB#00
CMUU Status:Normal;
* CPU#1 Status:Deconfigured;
* XBU#0 Status:Degraded;
  1. The following example shows that no units are degraded.
XSCF> showstatus
No failures found in System Initialization.
Note - The failure and degradation information about a failed/degraded component is cleared by the replacement of the relevant part. For parts replacement work, contact a field engineer.
