Re: netra 240 critical led

Hi have a Netra 240, running latest solaris 9.
Critical led is always litten, but system has no failures.

# /usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/prtdiag -v | grep -i crit
MB CRITICAL on red

I can switch it off from alom sc> setalarm critical off
If i reboot it led comes on again.

Found out that VTS has /opt/SUNWvts/bin/nalmtest -l
and if i execute it the led goes off.

# /usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/prtdiag -v | grep -i crit
MB CRITICAL off red

Wrote a rc3.d script for this, but is there better way ?

replace the system board or whatever is causing the fault in the first
place.

Many thanks Andrew & Cydrome.
prtconf -V , OBP 4.22.33 2007/06/18 12:45
Solaris 10 does not lit critical, seems like 5.9 is the cause.

Isn't this handled by picld? Perhaps you had disabled it on 5.9?

Thanks, dont know how to disable it, installation is a preconfigured
jumpstart.
Found a utility from doc. 819-2749-10.pdf
"alarm.c" compiled it and im happy.
just changed a line #include "lom_io.h" to
#include "/usr/platform/sun4u/include/sys/lom_io.h"
and cc alarm.c

# ./alarm

usage: alarm [get|set] [crit|major|minor|user] [on|off]
ALARM.crit = on
ALARM.major = off
ALARM.minor = off
ALARM.user = off

# ./alarm set crit off
Setting ALARM.crit successfully set to off

Installing the latest patch-cluster fixed it all.
