Hi again,

Check this out from docs.sun.com "Sun Enterprise 220R Server Owner's Guide":
================================================
The system provides fault LEDs in the following places:
* Front panel
* Keyboard
* Power supplies
Error messages are logged in the /var/adm/messages file and are also
displayed on the system console by the diagnostic tools.
================================================
Is this true? Will a faulty PSU will be noted in /var/adm/messages?
If anyone has seen this please let me know. Or even better please send me a
copy of the error message.
Or if anyone currently has a faulty PSU ... well you could test out Sun's
documentation if you wanted to.
Please send email and I will summarise to the list.

>From the replies and testing so far:
        - "prtdiag -v" does not show PSU status
        - loss of power feed to PSU does not show up in "/var/adm/messages"
        - "SPANNER" LED is the only indication.

Original Message:

I have an Enterprise E220R Workgroup Server with redundant power supplies.
Does anyone know how to detect the following scenarios via the OS:
        - Loss of power feed to one of the supplies
        - Faulty power supply
Please send email and I will summarise to the list.
