Managing RAS Features and System Firmware

Memory failure. Given a failed DIMM, the firmware will unconfigure the entire
logical bank associated with the failed module. Another nonfailing logical
bank must be present in the system for the system to attempt a degraded boot.

Note –

If POST or OpenBoot firmware detects a nonfatal error associated with the

normal boot device, the OpenBoot firmware automatically unconfigures the failed
device and tries the next-in-line boot device, as specified by the boot-device
configuration variable.

If a fatal error is detected by POST or OpenBoot firmware, the system does not
boot regardless of the settings of auto-boot? or auto-boot-on-error?. Fatal
nonrecoverable errors include the following:

Any CPU failed.

All logical memory banks failed.

Flash RAM cyclical redundancy check (CRC) failure.

Critical field-replaceable unit (FRU) PROM configuration data failure.

Critical system configuration card (SCC) read failure.

Critical application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) failure.

For more information about troubleshooting fatal errors, refer to the service manual
for your server.

Reset Scenarios

Three ILOM /HOST/diag configuration properties, mode, level, and trigger,

events.

The default settings for these properties are:
