'fmadm faulty'
This is a very useful command which lists faults in a OS running Sparc.
One drawback of this command is that the faults are not cleared automatically. We have to do it manually. If not we may end up troubleshooting some old messages.

'/var/adm/messages' is a very good place to look for hardware related messages. Sun Solaris has a very good feature which logs each and every kernell event in logs.
If you there is any doubt, it is always suggested to go through the logs.
Example: The following events indicate scsi controller failure which was not visible in prtdiag.
