Faults are displayed in the browser interface when situations occur that meet the fault criteria defined by the Sun QFS and Sun SAM software installed locally on the current server.
If there are more than 25 faults on the server, you can acknowledge and delete all faults on the system at one time by clicking the Show Data in a Single Page icon on the Fault Summary page. After you click this icon, you can select all faults and then click Acknowledge or Delete.
If a fault condition is discovered more than once by the software, the number of times it has been discovered and the initial time it was discovered are displayed in the browser interface:
No space available. Repeated 3 times since Mon Apr 18, 2005 2:09 p.m.
The following table describes the fault severities.

Critical |
Indicates a critical fault condition, such as a superblock count mismatch or a library being unavailable. This is a very serious condition and requires some administrative action. |
Major |
Indicates a major fault condition, such as a library being full. This is a serious condition and requires some administrative action. |
Minor |
Indicates a minor fault condition, such as a tape drive needing to be cleaned, or a library needing to be maintained. This is a serious condition, but you can choose whether to perform some administrative action. |
