Hi!
I've a rx6600 HP-UX Server.
Its system health LED is blinking amber, however the internal/external and power LED's are green.System is working normally without any failure.What could be the reason for this LED blinking.
In the Docs it says "warning or critical fault:check logs for detail".
Which log should i look for.

Thanks in Advance

From the console hit then select the SL for show logs.

Once reviewed the light will no longer flash.
If needed use CL to clear the logs.

Obviously if there is an HW issue listed in the logs address it.

It's not necessarily a hardware issue, the server will also report other events, for example if you open the chassis:

Alert Level 3: Warning
Keyword: CHASSIS_DOOR_IS_OPEN
Chassis door is open

Just read the logs and you will see the reason.

Check the syslog and dmesg and event log
Once u read the logs that amper colour will go to grean state that indicates some warnings are there in the server , that not telling any hardware issues with server
