Displaying Information About Faults or Defects

The fmadm faulty command is the preferred method to display fault or defect information and determine the FRUs involved. However, the fmdump command is also supported. Normally, fmadm faulty is used to display active problems and fmdump is used to display an historical log of problems on the system.


Caution

Caution  -  Do not base administrative action on the output of the fmdump command. Instead, use the fmadm faulty output. The log files can contain error statements, which should not be considered faults or defects.
