▼ To Use the fmdump Command to Identify Faults
The fmdump command displays the list of faults detected by the Solaris PSH facility.
Use this command for the following reasons:
■ To see if any faults have been detected by the Solaris PSH facility.
■ If you need to obtain the fault message ID (SUNW-MSG-ID) for detected faults.
■ To verify that the replacement of a FRU has cleared the fault and not generated
any additional faults.
If you already have a fault message ID, go to Step 2 to obtain more information
about the fault from Suns Predictive Self-Healing Knowledge Article web site.
1. Check the event log using the fmdump command with -v for verbose output:
In this example, a fault is displayed, indicating the following details:
■ Date and time of the fault (Oct 21 10:32 EDT 2004)
■ Universal Unique Identifier (UUID) that is unique for every fault (a26d5379-
24b8-4a46-bcbf-d9e1ff75a1bc)
■ Sun message identifier (SUNW4U-8000-2S) that can be used to obtain additional
fault information
■ Faulted FRU (FRU: mem:///component=MB/CMP0/CH0:R1/D0/J0701), that in
this example is identified as the DIMM at
R1/D0(J0701).
2. Use the Sun message ID to obtain more information about this type of fault.
a. In a browser, go to the Predictive Self-Healing Knowledge Article web site:
http://www.sun.com/msg
b. Enter the message ID in the SUNW-MSG-ID field, and press Lookup.
In this example, the message ID SUN4U-8000-2S returns the following
information for corrective action:
# fmdump -v
TIME UUID SUNW-MSG-ID
