View Fault Management Log Files (fmdump)

Before You Begin

• Review Log File Display Commands and Log Descriptions.

To view the fault management log files from the Oracle ILOM Fault Management Shell, do the following:

1. From the Oracle ILOM CLI, launch a Fault Management Shell, as described in Launch a Fault Management Shell Session (CLI).
   The faultmgmtsp> prompt appears.
2. Type one of the following fmdump commands to display the contents of a fault management log file set:
   • fmdump – Display the fault log.
   • fmdump -u uuid – Display a fault log for a specific universal unique identifier (uuid).
   • fmdump -e – Display the error log.

   Note:

   For the fault log, in particular, it is important to recognize that fmdump shows all problems ever diagnosed and is not limited to active problems diagnosed. To view active faults only, issue the fmadm faulty command.
3. To rotate the log display, do one of following:
   • To rotate the fault log display, type:

     fmadm rotate fltlog

   • To rotate the error log display, type:

     fmadm rotate errlog

4. To display the exit code for the last executed fault management command, type:
   echo $?

   One of the following echo codes appears:

   Code	Description
   0	Successful completion. All records in the log file were examined successfully.
   1	Invalid command-line options were specified.
