Message Types

syslog message
■
The Solaris OS outputs this message to the domain console. For instructions on how
to reference syslog messages, see the Solaris OS documentation.
FMA message
■
The FMA message describes the results of a diagnosis automatically generated for
hardware or software faults by the server's Fault Management Architecture (FMA)
fault management facility. When this message is output to the domain console, the
user can identify the portion corresponding to the notified fault in the server. The
FMA message is retained as log information (in a fault log or error log). The Solaris
fmdump(1M) command or the fmdump(8), or showlogs(8) command of the XSCF
Shell can be used to display the message contents for more detailed investigation.
The user can also confirm the contents by using the specified URL based on the
MSG-ID displayed on the console.
IPL message
■
This message is output during the system startup. The IPL message is output to the
domain console and retained as log information (in an IPL log) in the XSCF. The IPL
log retains the information corresponding to the last single system startup for each
domain. The showlogs(8) command of the XSCF Shell can be used to display the
IPL log.
