Hi,

I'm trying to generate an alert related to Power Supply Failure.
As its difficult to generate such an event, Is it possible to set the status of a Power Supply Unit as "Faulty"

Any ideas are welcome and highly appreciated

-Thanks

i don't think that you can set a PSU as faulty from solaris. i don't know if it is possible to use the service processor for such a thing but might be worth a try...
