Pack the PXE image miniroot: #/boot/solaris/bin/root_archive pack /boot/x86.miniroot /var/tmp/mr Basic troubleshooting techniques The following basic tools and techniques are useful for investigating issues with Solaris deployment. Shell prompt An interactive shell is the primary tool for troubleshooting deployment issues that occur after the miniroot has booted. In some cases, early failures cause the console to automatically display a shell prompt. Otherwise, a shell can usually be started when necessary. If X Windows is running, a terminal window can be opened by right-clicking on the background, and then selecting the appropriate item from the menu. If the character mode installer is running, proceed through the prompts until an option to exit appears. Exiting drops the console to a shell prompt. Network verification Problems with network deployments can often be traced to errors in network configuration or typographical errors in network paths. The Solaris miniroot contains a variety of tools and utilities that can be used to diagnose such problems. Troubleshooting 43
