The Oracle Solaris OS includes an architecture for building and deploying systems and services that are capable of predictive self healing. The service that is the core of the Fault Management Architecture (FMA) receives data related to hardware and software errors, automatically diagnoses the underlying problem, and responds by attempting to take faulty components offline.
This chapter discusses the following topics:
Description of the Oracle Solaris Fault Management feature
Configuring when and how you will be notified of error events
Features of messages from the Fault Manager
When specific hardware faults occur, Oracle Auto Service Request (ASR) can automatically open an Oracle service request. See http://www.oracle.com/asr for more information about ASR.
