The fmadm faulty command can be used by administrators and service personnel to view and modify system configuration parameters that are maintained by the Oracle Solaris Fault Manager. The fmadm faulty command is primarily used to determine the status of a component involved in a fault, as shown in the following example.
The fmadm config command output shows the version numbers of the diagnosis engines in use by your server, as well as their current state. You can check these versions against information on the My Oracle Support website to determine if you are running the latest diagnostic engines.
Traditional Oracle Solaris Diagnostic Commands These superuser commands can help you determine if you have issues in your server, in the network, or within another server that you are networking with. The following commands are detailed in this section. Section B.3.1, “Using the iostat Command” on page B-9 ■...
