what does this actually mean for me, I looked at

but unclear if I need to follow the bit about clearing the checkpoint
data file.

Looks like an internal failure of fmd.

Try: fmadm repaired <fmri> it, or svcadm restart svcs:/system/fmd:default.

Baiscally, you needn't to worry about it. Using svcs |grep fmd, the fmd
service may not be 'online' on your server now.

Hi Edna,

I have seen this message a few times before and think it may be because
the layout of etm chackpoint file was redefined by the
fix for 6540058 "libldom enhancements for sun4v root domains" - so if you
had a pre-existing checkpoint file from before that fix and then
upgraded the
system then you may get such a mismatch.

Hi
cheers to all who replied, I have 6/09 installed ( u7 ) which has this
fix, so should be an issue.

I'll clear the checkpoint file anyway.
