Use the fmadm replaced command to indicate that the suspect FRU has been replaced or removed. If multiple faults are currently reported against one FRU, the FRU shows as replaced in all cases.
fmadm replaced FMRI | label
When an FRU is replaced, the serial number of the FRU changes. If fmd automatically detects that the serial number of an FRU has changed, the Fault Manager behaves in the same way as if you had entered the fmadm replaced command. If fmd cannot detect whether the serial number of the FRU has changed, then you must enter the fmadm replaced command if you have replaced or removed the FRU. If fmd detects that the serial number of the FRU has not changed, then the fmadm replaced command exits with an error.
If you remove the FRU but do not replace the FRU, the Fault Manager displays the suspect as not present. The suspect is not considered to be permanently removed until the fault event is 30 days old.
