Hardware Maintence Light - SunFire 280

[Gareth Crispin]

We have a box that has a maintenence light illuminated, how would I go about
identifying whats wrong with it?

The power supplies all seem fine, and both drives are working correctly.

Does it log error codes to the filesystem?

Thanks in advance,

Cheers Dennis, much appreciated.

'Admin' and 'Vacation' are two words that shouldn't be put in the same
sentence together ;)

Both power supplies have maintainence LEDS too, and neither are illuminated.
I did a metastat to check the state of the mirror and it showed all the
devices to be Okay.

Anyways, thanks again
