NAME
       fmd - fault manager daemon

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lib/fm/fmd/fmd [-V] [-f file] [-o opt=val] [-R dir]

DESCRIPTION
       fmd  is	a  daemon  that	 runs  in  the background on each system.  fmd
       receives telemetry information relating to  problems  detected  by  the
       system  software,  diagnoses  these  problems,  and initiates proactive
       self-healing activities	such  as  disabling  faulty  components.  When
       appropriate,  the fault manager also sends a message to the syslogd(1M)
       service to notify an administrator that a problem  has  been  detected.
       The   message   directs	 administrators	 to  a	knowledge  article  on
       http://illumos.org/msg/, which explains more about the  problem	impact
       and appropriate responses.

       Each  problem  diagnosed	 by  the fault manager is assigned a Universal
       Unique Identifier (UUID). The UUID uniquely identifes  this  particular
       problem	across	any set of systems. The fmdump(1M) utility can be used
       to view the list of problems diagnosed by the fault manager, along with
       their  UUIDs  and  knowledge article message identifiers. The fmadm(1M)
       utility can be used to view the resources on the system believed to  be
       faulty.	 The  fmstat(1M) utility can be used to report statistics kept
       by the fault manager. The fault manager is started  automatically  when
       the  operating system boots, so it is not necessary to use the fmd com‐
       mand directly.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported

       -f file
		       Read the specified configuration file prior to  search‐
		       ing  for any of the default fault manager configuration
		       files.

       -o opt=value
		       Set the specified fault manager option to the specified
		       value.  Fault  manager  options are currently a Private
		       interface; see attributes(5) for information about Pri‐
		       vate interfaces.

       -R dir
		       Use  the	 specified  root  directory  for all pathnames
		       evaluated by the fault manager, instead of the  default
		       root (/).

       -V
		       Print the fault manager's version to stdout and exit.

EXIT STATUS
       The following exit values are returned:

       0
	     Successful completion

       1
	     An error occurred which prevented the fault manager from initial‐

	     Invalid command-line options were specified.
