Predictive Self-Healing Support for SNMP Notification

This system administration feature is new in the Solaris Express 4/06 release.

Starting with this release, the Solaris OS includes a set of predictive self-healing features to automatically capture, diagnose, and respond to hardware errors detected on your system. The self-healing diagnosis results are reported to the syslogd service.

The Solaris Fault Manager, fmd, now enables you to do the following:

• Publish diagnostic results through the Solaris System Management Agent (SMA), including SNMP traps

• Search an SNMP MIB for fault management information about each machine

The Fault Management MIB is located at /etc/sma/snmp/mibs/SUN-FM-MIB.mib on the Solaris system.
