The
prtdiag can be used on Solaris systems to display system
diagnostic information.
/usr/sbin/prtdiag [-v] [-l]
The following options are supported:
-l Log output. If failures or errors exist in the
system, output this information to syslogd(1M) only.
-v Verbose mode. Displays the time of the most recent
AC Power failure, and the most recent hardware
fatal error information, and (if applicable)
environmental status. The hardware fatal error
information is useful to repair and manufacturing
for detailed diagnostics of FRUs.
The following exit values are returned:
0 No failures or errors are detected in the system.
1 Failures or errors are detected in the system.
If you are running Solaris 10 on an x86-based PC, the prtdiag command does not work on some earlier releases of Solaris 10. I have two PCs running Solaris 10. I installed the 3/05 release of Solaris 10 on the first and the 6/06 release of Solaris 10 on the second. On the first system I see "prtdiag: not implemented on i86pc" when I try to run prtdiag. On the system with the 6/06 release, prtdiag works and shows me the information below. You can determine which release you are using by looking at the contents of the /etc/release file.
