9-2 Sun Ultra 45 and Ultra 25 Workstations Service and Diagnostics Manual • May 2006
9.2 Predictive Self-Healing Tools
In Solaris 10, the fault manager runs in the background. The fault manager performs
the following functions:
â– Receives telemetry information about problems detected by the system software.
â– Diagnoses the problems.
â– Initiates pro-active self-healing activities. For example, the fault manager can
disable faulty components.
TABLE 9-1 shows a typical message generated when a fault occurs on your system.
The message appears on your console and is recorded in the /var/adm/messages
file.
Note – The message in TABLE 9-1 indicates that the fault has already been diagnosed.
Any corrective action that the system can perform has already taken place. If your
workstation is still running, it continues to run.
