[osol-discuss] output from fmadm faulty

[Rob Johnston]

Hi Matt,

Taking this to fm-discuss

A defect.sunos.eft.undiagnosable_problem occurs when a hardened driver produces
error telemetry for which we have no diagnosis rules. In general this is a
result of a bug in either the driver or the rules themselves. In more rare
instances, it can also occur if the hardware topology changes between when the
telemetry is produced and when the diagnosis engine consumes it.

To debug it further we'd need a bit more information from you:

1) What build of opensolaris are you running?

2) What is the output of fmdump -V and fmdump -eV

3) what is the output of /usr/lib/fm/fmd/fmtopo -V

#2 and #3 could be large - probably better to include those as attachments

thanks,

rob

Hi all,
As I want to know when one of the disks in our fileserver is faulty, I
have it run "fmadm faulty" through cron so I can get informed when
something goes down (ie a disk).

Nov 03 11:40:16 9b069e20-9ea9-6169-ff93-ede7701ef800 SUNOS-8000-1L Minor
Fault class : defect.sunos.eft.undiagnosable_problem
Description : The EFT Diagnosis Engine encountered telemetry for which it is
unable to produce a diagnosis. Refer to
http://sun.com/msg/SUNOS-8000-1L for more information.
Response : Error reports from the component will be logged for
examination
by Sun.
Impact : Automated diagnosis and response for these events will not
occur.
Action : Run pkgchk -n SUNWfmd to ensure that fault management
software is
installed properly. Contact Sun for support.
It obviously doesn't provide (me) with that much information, so does
anyone know how or if I can trace this and replace hardware if necessary
before the pool goes down?
Thanks
Matt

Hi, thanks for the reply

This is running SCXE snv_97 at the moment.
