Using the Fault Manager

The Oracle Solaris OS includes an architecture for building and deploying systems and services that are capable of predictive self healing. The service that is the core of the Fault Management Architecture (FMA) receives data related to hardware and software errors, automatically diagnoses the underlying problem, and responds by trying to take faulty components offline.
