I am sponsoring the following case for Rob Johnston to add a -m
option to fmdump to permit administrators to retrieve the human-readable
message for a fault entry from an FMA log.
This interface extension should be considered Stable and have binding
for a Micro release, should we ever wish to put it into an update.
As this is a straightforward, consistent, and trivial extension to an
existing utility, and has the full concensus of the FMA team,
I am filing this fasttrack as closed-approved-automatic.
If anyone has any questions, please use the alias.
-Mike

1. Introduction
1.1. Project/Component Working Name:
New -m option for fmdump(1m)
1.2. Name of Document Author/Supplier:
Author: Rob Johnston
1.3 Date of This Document:
16 April, 2009
4. Technical Description
4.1. Project Description:
This project extends fmdump(1m) with a new command-line option (-m)
which will print the localized diagnosis message associated with each
entry in the Fault Manager's fault log (/var/fm/fmd/fltlog).
This project enhances the usability of fmdump by providing an
additional, more intuitive view of the data in the fault log.
The localized message emitted by fmdump will be identical in
format and content to the original message that appeared on
the console and in syslog when the event occurred.
4.2. Details:
See draft man page change and example output in the case directory.
4.3. Bug/RFE Number(s):
6810965 port fmdump -m to ON
4.4. Interfaces:
The command-line options and human-readable output for fmdump(1m) are
evolving.
4.5. Doc Impact:
This project will require a small update to the fmdump(1M) man page
per the following CR:
6829745 Need to document new -m option for fmdump
A copy of the fmdump(1m) man page with the proposed updates is
included in the case directory.
