Greg -

This has come up before as:

5034084 prtdiag is much less informative in s10 than it was in s9

This issue was raised during our beta program, and has since been raised
again in several OpenSolaris mailing lists.  The original reason this
was done was the high rate of support calls to Sun regarding customer
perceived problems that weren't really there.  Customers would monitor
temperatures and make assumptions about the health of hardware that
weren't necessarily true.

I agree with the original intent - changing the default output to hide
this stuff is fine.  But I have lobbied (unsuccessfully) to at least put
back an "expert" mode that allows this information to be displayed for
the suitably savvy admins.  I will add your concerns to the growing list
of complaints, but no one is currently working on this.

- Eric
