An update to the Solaris Writing Device Drivers guide is in the works. This document will describe how to use DDI functions to generate events already present in the registry and diagnose common IO-related faults (also present in the event registry).

This project will export the fault management registry of event specifications and diagnosis article content. The initial delivery to the OpenSolaris community will include the registry contents and

The initial target audience of this project is system administrators and
developers who want a listing of the possible fault diagnosis messages
and the event class and payload specifications.
...
The OpenSolaris event registry source will be regularly updated to coincide with updates to message IDs at http:///sun.com/msg. Community contributions to the event registry source will be permitted and sponsored for developers
contributing fault management error handling and diagnosis software for
hardware and software components that are FMA capable and aware.

+1 from me. Any news on when the programmer's reference
manual might be made available?


cheers,
