Some quick Solaris 10 Fault Manager Daemon notes

fmd - fault manager daemon commands:

# Display current faults:
fmdump faulty

# View fault files:
fmdump

# View error log files:
fmdump -e

# View previous log file:
fmdump /var/fmd/fmd/errlog.1

# Rotate log files - you may have to stop and start fmd if the process is
# too busy to rotate the files. This could be a catch 22, the fmd process
# must be running to rotate the files.

# Rotate error log files:
fmadm rotate errlog

# Rotate fault log files:
fmadm rotate fltlog

# Log files:
/var/fm/fmd
