Displaying Information About Faults, Defects and Alerts

The following commands display detailed information about diagnoses made by the fault management system.

• The fmadm list command displays all active faults, defects, and alerts.

  Note:

  The fmadm faulty command has been deprecated and is replaced by fmadm list.

• The fmadm list-fault command displays all active faults.

• The fmadm list-defect command displays all active defects.

• The fmadm list-alert command displays all active alerts.

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

Caution:

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