> ================================================
> 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.
