Interpreting Log Files and System Messages
Interpreting Log Files and System Messages
With the OS running on the server, you have the full complement of Oracle Solaris OS files and
commands available for collecting information and for troubleshooting.
If PSH does not indicate the source of a fault, check the message buffer and log files for
notifications for faults. Drive faults are usually captured by the Oracle Solaris message files.
These topics explain how to view the log files and system messages.
