Troubleshooting system-level problems

Checking system files with error histories

The system maintains a number of files that contain historical information that may give you a clue as to what is causing the problem. The most useful are:


/var/adm/log/osmlog
log of all console messages logged by the kernel, including error messages and system startup information. You can examine this file manually or by using the System Logs Manager.

/etc/conf/cf.d/config.h
list of kernel parameters with current values. This same information can be viewed with the System Tuner. This information is useful when the system is giving CONFIG error messages.
