You could've guessed this has also come up before:
6230033 RFE: We need prtdiag for Solaris X86 to properly support it in
the field
You may want to bring up some of these issues over at the Fault
Management discussion forums (CCing fm-discuss). 'prtdiag' itself
really isn't an observability tool in the strictest sense of the word.
It's been hanging out in the observability community for a while, but
now that the fault management community is up and running it may make
more sense to move discussion of these tools over there.
That being said, the problem is significantly harder on x86 due to the
myriad of ways in which this information is stored and accessed. I
don't know of any specific plans in this area, but one of the FM folks
may be able to fill in details.
