Is it possible to set a PSU as faulty on Solaris

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...

You can configure ALOM CMT to send email alerts of hardware failures, hardware warnings, and other events related to the server or to ALOM CMT. The ALOM CMT circuitry runs independently of the server, using the server's standby power. Therefore, ALOM CMT firmware and software continue to function when the server operating system goes offline or when the server is powered off. ALOM CMT monitors the following Sun Fire T2000 server components:

CPU temperature conditions

Disk drive status

Enclosure thermal conditions

Fan speed and status

Power supply status

Voltage conditions
