This 40-question online assessment measures your understanding of the concepts presented in the Assessment:
Sun Systems Fault Analysis Workshop
Assessment: Sun Systems Fault Analysis

(Answer all questions in this section)
1.SMF has a notification feature that notifies you through email messages of service state
transitions and fault management events. You want to set up a notification to occur if Mark for Review
any service state changes from the online state to any other state. (2) Points
As a first step you have installed the smtp_notify package:
# pkg install service/fault-management/smtp-notify
and now need to enable and then configure the service notifications.
Which option describes the command you would not use when enabling and configuring
the service state transition notifications for all services?
# svccfg s svc:/network/http:appache22 setnotify from-online

mailto:root@localhost (*)
#svcs | grep smtp
# svcadm enable svc:/system/fault-management/smtp-notify
# svccfg s svc:/system/svc/global:default setnotify g service_transition_state

mailto:root@localhost
Correct!
2.An important step in fault analysis is to create a list of facts about reported system
faults. To assist in the collection of these facts, you will collect all relevant errors on Mark for Review
problematic services using SMF. (2) Points
You execute the following command on the faulty system:
# svcx x
Which option describes the output of this command?
Problematic services are described.
All enabled service instances even temporarily disabled service instances are listed.
Information on legacy services is returned.
Text explaining what state a service is in, and why it is in that state. (*)
Sorry, that is not correct. Please review the course content and try again.
3.A user is logged in as root but still cannot install a package in a non-global zone.
Mark for Review
# zlogin web (4) Points
root@web# pkg install apptrace
pkg install: Could not complete the operation on /var/pkg/lock: read-only filesystem.
You have the user check the settings of the zone, using the following command to look
for a specific setting that may cause a read-only file system.
# zonecfg z web info

zonename: web
zonepath: /zones/web
brand: solaris
autoboot: true
bootargs:
file-mac-profile: strict
<output truncated>
The user locates a file-mac-profile property in the output of the command, which has
been set to a value of strict. By default, a zonecfg file-mac-profile property is not set in a
non-global zone. The default policy for a nonglobal zone is to have a writable root file
system. Knowing this information, you tell the user that this is the desired setting placed
on the non-global zone and should not be changed.
Which statement is true when describing the profile strict?
Logging and auditing configuration files can be local.
Permits updates to /var/* directories, and modification of files in /etc/* directories.
Permits updates to /var/* directories, with the exception of directories that contain
system configuration components.
Read-only file system, no exceptions. (*)
Correct!
4.Before actually installing a software package on a Solaris 11 system, you want to check
exactly what is going to be installed. In this example, you run the following command to Mark for Review
view the installation action of an apptrace package without installing it. (3) Points
# pkg install nv apptrace

Packages to install 1
Estimated space available: 46.27 GB
Estimated space to be consumed: 13.55 MB
Create boot environment: No
Create backup boot environment: No
Rebuild boot archive: No
You determine that theres no issue with installing this package and run the pkg install
command to complete the package installation. To verify or validate the installation of
the package you run the following command:
# pkg verify v apptrace

PACKAGE STATUS
pkg: //solaris/developer/apptrace OK
#
You decide to go ahead and install the dtrace package on this system too. When the
installation completes you verify the installation of this package.
# pkg verify v dtrace
PACKAGE STATUS
pkg: //solaris/system/dtrace ERROR
<output truncated>
Which command would you use to correct the dtrace package installation error reported?
pkg revert dtrace
pkg uninstall dtrace
pkg update reject dtrace
pkg fix dtrace (*)
Correct!
5.You know that the following configuration will cause two core files to be generated and
saved when a process in the local zone terminates abnormally. Mark for Review
(2) Points
# coreadm
global core file pattern: /var/core/core.%f.%p
global core file content: all
init core file pattern: core.%f.%p
init core file content: default
global core dumps: enabled
per-process core dumps: enabled
global setid core dumps: disabled
per-process setid core dumps: disabled
global core dump logging: enabled
Which two options describe where these core files would be saved?
(Choose all correct answers)
In $HOME/corefiles
In the global zone in /var/core (*)
In the local zone in /var/core
In the process current working directory. (*)

6. Fault types that can occur on a system are placed in five error categories: Software,
Hardware, Critical, Fatal, System Panics, and Warnings. Mark for Review
When a system fault is caused by a critical error it is recommended that the system be (2) Points
immediately shutdown.
Which two faults could be attributed to a critical error that requires the immediate
shutdown of the system?
Component burnout due to high temperature.
Single power supply failure in a system with redundant power supplies. (*)
Corrupt disks.
Fan failure, resulting in an increased operating temperature. (*)
Correct!
7. The service configuration repository provides a per-service snapshot at the time each
service is successfully started so that fallback is possible. The SMF service always Mark for Review
executes with the running snapshot. This snapshot is automatically created if it does (4) Points
not exist.
You find that the console-login service configuration on a server is wrong, and now
need to take steps to fix the problem by reverting to the last snapshot that started
successfully. Once you have logged in as superuser or equivalent role you run the
following commands.
# svccfg
svc:> select system/console-login:default
svc: /system/console-login:default> listsnap
initial
running
start
svc: /system/console-login:default> revert start
svc: /system/console-login:default> quit
You have two more steps to complete in this process, which are necessary to update
the information in the service configuration and to restart the service instance.
What two commands would you run to update the repository with the configuration
information from the start snapshot and then restart this service instance?
svcadm restart system/console-login (*)
svcadm refresh system/console-login (*)
svcadm update system/console-login
svccfg export system/console-login

Correct!
8. You are notified that a system has panicked because it tried to execute an illtrap
instruction at ksyms_open+0x14, as shown in the following output: Mark for Review
> < pc::dis (2) Points
<output truncated>
ksyms_open+0x14 : illtrap 0x0
<output truncated>
Knowing that the kernel will not overwrite its own code due to permissions on the
pages of memory containing kernel code, you deduce two possible reasons for the
cause of this panic.
Which two options could have caused this system panic?
BAD TRAP occurred due to a NULL pointer.
The kernel branched to a location that contained the instruction NULL. (*)
Data cannot be used to reconstruct events that lead to the panic.
A serious hardware problem. (*)
Correct!
9. While diagnosing peripheral devices using the probe-scsi and probe-scsi-all commands,
the SCSI devices on two systems are not detected. These devices are in fact physically Mark for Review
attached to the on-board SCSI controllers. (2) Points
What step would you take to correct this reported problem with the SCSI devices?
Use POST to perform diagnostic tests for the hardware components.
Run reset on both systems.
Test the hardware devices attached to the systems with the test-all command.
Power on all the SCSI devices. (*)
Correct!
10.A system has booted into maintenance mode with an error that a service failed to
mount the /tmp directory. Mark for Review
(3) Points
Copyright (c) 1983, 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
os-io ERROR: svc:/system/filesystem/minimal:default failed to mount /tmp (see 'svcs -
x' for details)
Jan 15 14:22:47 svc.startd[11]: svc:/system/filesystem/minimal:default: Method

Requesting System Maintenance Mode
(See /lib/svc/share/README for more information.)
Console login service(s) cannot run
You have quickly determined that the cause of this error could be the result of either a
service that is critical for boot is disabled or incorrect permissions on the /tmp
directory.
Which two methods would you use to correct this error?

Enter the svcadm restart command.
Check to see if /tmp is mounted correctly, and check the permissions. (*)
Enter the reboot d command.
Troubleshoot using the svcs xv command and try enabling the services in
maintenance manually. (*)
Correct!

11.A SPARC server is creating core files in random directories and that these files are quite
large and use up valuable disk space. You run the following commmand to display the Mark for Review
core file configuration on the system: (2) Points
$ coreadm
global core file pattern:
global core file content: default
init core file pattern: core
init core file content: default
global core dumps: disabled
global core dump logging: disabled
To correct the situation you become superuser, run the command to enable a global
core file path and then verify the core file path configuration:
# coreadm
global core file pattern: /var/core/core.%f.%p
init core file pattern: core
global core dumps: enabled
global core dump logging: disabled
Which option contains the command you would use to enable a global core file path?
# coreadm -e global -g /var/core/core.%f.%p (*)
# coreadm e g /var/core
# coreadm g /var/core/core.%f.%p e global
# coreadm e global g /var/cores
Correct!
12.You have been asked to install Oracle VTS, an Oracle hardware validation test on a
SPARC server. Once installed you need to run a non-intrusive online stress test mode Mark for Review
and a data-safe system exerciser test mode, all to test the server. (4) Points
Which two options describe the actions of these two test modes on the server?
This mode puts maximum stress on the component or module under test, and all
tests are run sequentially.
This mode tests the system with all its components, all tests are run in parallel,
and no other application except this software should be running on the system.
(*)
This mode for testing is used to validate the hardware without having significant
impact on other applications running on the system. (*)
This mode performs targeted testing of system components and modules.
13.The following error message is displayed on one AI client.

Mark for Review

Tue Aug 5 20:46:43 wanboot alert: miniinfo: Request returned code 500
Tue Aug 5 20:46:44 wanboot alert: Internal Server Error \ (root filesystem image
missing)
You know this error occurred because the client cannot find the boot_archive.
Which option describes how you would correct this problem?
Check your DHCP configuration or the contents of the target directory you
specified when you ran installadm create-service
Check the path name and permissions of the boot_archive at

$IMAGE/boot/boot_archive (*)
Check you WAN boot configuration.
None of the above
Correct!
14.Oracle Solaris 11 installations are configured to have a default publisher, solaris, which
supplies software packages from the release repository: Mark for Review
http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release (2) Points
As the administrator, you can see what configuration a Solaris 11 system has by using
the following command:
# pkg publisher
PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS URI
solaris origin online http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/
You can also quickly query some basic information about a repository to view the
package publishers known by the repository; number of packages for each publisher;
when the publishers package data was last updated; and the status of the publishers
package data, as shown here:
PUBLISHER PACKAGES STATUS UPDATED

solaris 4044 online 2014-06-28T12:17:33.570603Z
Which two options describe the methods that you could use to quickly query some
basic information about the release repository to view just the publishers name,
number of packages, status, and last updated timestamp?
Load the repository URL into your Web browser. (*)
Use the command: pkgrepo info -s http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/ (*)
Use the command: pkgrepo get s http: //pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/ -p all
Use the command: pkgrepo list p http: //pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release
Correct!
15.The Automatic System Recovery (ASR) feature enables the server to automatically
configure failed components out of operation until they can be replaced. In the server, Mark for Review
the ASR feature manages nonfatal hardware failures associated with memory modules (3) Points
and PCI cards. To display system components and their current state you run the
following command.
sc> showcomponent
Keys:
/SYS/MB/PCI_MEZZ
/SYS/MB/PCI_MEZZ/PCIE4
/SYS/MB/PCI_MEZZ/XAUI4
/SYS/MB/PCI_MEZZ/XAUI5
/SYS/MB/PCI_MEZZ/PCEI6
..
/SYS/TTYA
Disabled Devices
/SYS/MB/CMPO/L2_BANK0
Once a faulty component has been disabled and after the cause of the fault has been
repaired (for example FRU replacement, loose connector reseated), you must remove
the component from the ASR blacklist database.
What two options describe the command to remove a disabled component and the
name of the database containing the list of all disabled components on the system?
asr-db (*)
clearasrdb
enable component asrkey ; reset (*)
asrdb
Correct!


16.The following command line has been entered to create a new service called newsvc1
and to identify this service as the source for automated install: Mark for Review
(3) Points
# installadm create-service n newsvc1 s /export/aiimages/s11ai.iso d \
/export/auto_install/newsvc1
which has produced the following error message when booting.
{0} ok boot net:dhcp install

Boot device: /pci@400/pci@2/pci@0/pci@6/network@0:dhcp File and args:
-install
install1000 Mbps full duplex Link up
Timed out waiting for BOOTP/DHCP reply
HTTP: Bad Response: 500 Internal Server Error
(wanboot.conf error: Cant open configuration file)
ERROR: boot-read fail
{0} ok
What action would you take to correct this boot failure based on the error message?
Check for permission problems on the AI configuration files.
Check the permissions on the wanboot.conf and system .conf files then try to boot
again.
Check that the system will still boot from the previous install service to verify that
the problem could exist with the newly created service.
Check all of the above until the newly created service boots the system
successfully. (*)
Correct!
17.A server has been crashing intermittently for unknown reasons. You have asked the
customer to start saving the information from the crash in the /var/crash directory so Mark for Review
that you can analyze the problem. The crash dump configuration file has the following (2) Points
entries:
Dump content: kernel

Dump device: /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s1 (dedicated)
Savecore directory: /var/crash
Savecore enabled: no
After the most recent crash, the administrator went into the /var/crash directory to look
for the dump file but the directory was empty.
Which command would you use to enable the server to store crash dumps in /var/crash
on reboot?
# dumpadm n
# coreadm -d
# dumpadm u
# dumpadm y (*)
Correct!
18.System performance, especially for compute-bound processing is not very good. You
run the mpstat command for a short time and see that the CPU system time (sys) is Mark for Review
fairly high, even on a system that is not doing much. (2) Points
# mpstat 2
CPU minf mjf xcal intr ithr csw icsw migr smtx srw syscl usr sys wt idl

^C
The possible causes of this system seeming to be slow could be a kernel bug, improper
configuration, or there is Interrupt processing.
Which command would you use to correct this system performance problem?
Use the reboot command to see if the problem goes away.
Use the modinfo command to find any unwanted or suspicious module and unload
it.
Use the intrstat 2 command to determine the source of the problem.
All of the above (*)
Correct!
19.The following error message has been displayed on a client:

Mark for Review
svc:/application/pkg/server:default (image packaging repository) (2) Points
State: maintenance since June 13, 2013 11:33:59 AM MDT
Reason: Start method failed repeatedly, last exited with status 1.
See: http://support.oracle.com/msg/SMF-8000-KS</span> See:
/var/svc/log/application-pkg-server:default.logImpact: This service is not running.
This error indicates that the application package server service is in a maintenance
state and users can't install a package. You look first for information in this log file:
# tail /var/svc/log/application-pkg-server:default.log
You then run the following commands to make the necessary changes to correct the
problem, and clear and refresh the service:
# svccfg -s pkg/server
svc:/application/pkg/server> listprop pkg
# svcadm clear pkg/server
# svcadm refresh pkg/server
Which option describes the probable cause of this error?
Invalid or incorrect property in service.
Problem with IPS server configuration.
Problem with IPS client configuration.
Correct!
20.A system has crashed with a panic. You need to analyze this system panic and
determine what kind of panic has occurred. The steps you plan to take include Mark for Review
displaying the current crash dump configuration; coverting the dump file to files that (2) Points
can be analyzed with the mdb utility; and then printing a summary of information that
reveals what kind of panic took place.
Which option describes the correct sequence of commands that you would use for this
troubleshooting procedure? (Note: savecore is enabled.)
# dumpadm ; cd /var/crash ; savecore f dumpfile_name ; mdb 0 and then

::status (*)
# dumpadm ; cd /var/crash ; savecore f dumpfile_name ; mdb -k and then
::status
# dumpadm ; cd /var/crash ; savecore f dumpfile_name ; mdb 0 and then ::quit
None of the above
Correct!


21.In general, after the kernel panics a system, the system reboots. When the kernel
panics it drops into the debugger and prints some interesting information. You know Mark for Review
that the mdb utility can examine this information to determine the cause of the panic. (4) Points
After a system crash, you locate the appropriate saved image and then invoke mdb.
# cd /var/crash/`uname n`
# ls
bounds unix.1 unix.3 vmcore.1 vmcore.3
unix.0 unix. 2 vmcore.0 vmcore.2
# mdb k unix.2 vmcore.3

Loading modules: [ unix genunix specfs dtrace zfs scsi_vhci sd mpt mac px
lcd ip
hook neti arp usba kssl fctl sockfs random mdesc idm cpc crypto fcip
fcp ufs
logindmux nsmb ptm sppp nfs lofs ipc ]
As a next step, you retrieve a stack backtrace which shows in reverse order all the
functions that were active at the time of the panic.
Which option would you use in the mdb debugger to generate a stack backtrace?
$C
::msgbuf
<pc::dis
$c (*)
Correct!
22.The response time with a web zone is very poor, and many services are not running.
You go ahead and zlogin into the web zone and then use the following command: Mark for Review
(2) Points
# svcs xv
No output for more than 5 minutes
Which option describes the cause of this zone having a very slow response time?
The installed system in the zone has a bug.
The zone resource caps are too high.
The zone is misconfigured.
Both a. and c. above. (*)
Correct!
23.You know that a boot archive is a subset of a root file system and that the files in the
boot archive are read by the kernel before the root filesystem is mounted. After the Mark for Review
root file system is mounted, the boot archive is discarded by the kernel from memory. (2) Points
The files in the SPARC boot archive are located in the /platform/`uname
m`/archive_cache directory.
The files that are part of the x86 boot archive are located in the
/platform/i86pc/amd64/archive_cache directory.
Which command automatically handles the Oracle Solaris boot archive creation,
updates and verification on both SPARC and x86 platforms?
/sbin/bootadm update-archive
menu.lst
bootadm (*)
boot-archive
Correct!
24.Usually a milestone does nothing useful itself, but declares a specific state of system-
readiness which other services can depend upon. Since you have been asked to share Mark for Review
some basic information about milestones with a new administrator, you start by using (3) Points
the svcs command to view a list of milestones that are defined on the server.
# svcs milestone*
STATE STIME FMRI
online Jun_30 svc:/milestone/unconfig:default
online Jun_30 svc:/milestone/config:default
online Jun_30 svc:/milestone/devices:default
online Jun_30 svc:/milestone/network:default
online Jun_30 svc:/milestone/single-user:default
online Jun_30 svc:/milestone/name-services:default
online Jun_30 svc:/milestone/self-assembly-complete:default
online Jun_30 svc:/milestone/multi-user:default
online Jun_30 svc:/milestone/multi-user-server:default
Which option contains the statement that would not be true when working with SMF
milestones?
Milestone manifest files are located in /lib/svc/manifest/milestone.
A systems current milestone is always defined in the options_ovr/milestone

property of the svc:/system/svc/restarter:default service.
Solaris networking has its own milestone called network
To change a milestone it is recommended that administrators always use the

svcadm command and discontinue any use of the init command. (*)
Correct!
25.The show-post-results command is an OBP-level command that you use at the

firmware level of a system to display information about the last executed POST. Shown Mark for Review
below are four of the six steps that you would take to view the last executed POST. (3) Points
1. Set the diag-switch? variable to true with the setenv command.

2. <step missing>
3. <step missing>
4. Power down the system.
5. Power on the system.
6. Run show-post-results to view the POST output.
ok show-post-results
<output omitted>
Which two options identify the two missing steps in this process?
Set the diag-level to quick with the setenv command.
Set the auto-boot? variable to false with the setenv command. (*)
Set the diag-level to max with the setenv command. (*)
Set the diag-switch? variable to true with the setenv command.


26.While trying to install a package on a system, the following error message appeared:
Mark for Review
# pkg install nv group/feature/amp (2) Points
pkg install: The following pattern(s) did not match any allowable packages. Try using a
different matching pattern, or refreshing publisher information:
group/feature/amp
You run the following command, which returns nothing:

# pkg search entire
You decide to check and make sure the publisher is refreshed with the most current
data, then try to install the package again.
# pkg refresh solaris

# pkg search entire
INDEX ACTION VALUE PACKAGE

Mediators to change: 1
Estimated space available: 30.54 GB
Estimated space to be consumed: 401.84 MB
Create boot environment: No
Create backup boot environment: No
Services to change: 2
Rebuild boot archive: No
Which two additional steps could also have been taken to quickly troubleshoot the
cause of this problem?
Check the package group info with the pkg info –r *group* command.
Use the command pkg variant to display the values of variants that are set with
the package.
Check to make sure there is not a typo in the package name. (*)
Check to make sure the publisher is online with the command pkg publisher (*)
Correct!
27.The response time within a newly configured zone is very poor, and many services are
not running. The person that configured this new zone booted it and logged in Mark for Review
successfully. (2) Points
Within the new zone the following command is run, which explains the state of
services.
# svcs xv
No output for more than 5 minutes.
From this generated message, you surmise what the probable cause of the slow zone is
and run the next set of commands:
# zoneadm z newzone halt

# zonecfg z newzone
zonecfg:newzone> remove capped-memory
zonecfg:newzone> commit
zonecfg:newzone> info
zonecfg:newzone> exit
# zoneadm z newzone boot
# zlogin newzone
# svcs xv
The zone should now run faster than before.
Which option would be the cause of this poor response time reported on this new
zone?
Zone mis-configured; resources caps to low. (*)
Loopback file system not enabled.
Physical memory capping changed.
Zone initiation failed.
Correct!
28.To install client systems by using AI, you initially set up your install server and create at
least one install service for each client architecture and each version of Oracle Solaris Mark for Review
that you plan to install. (4) Points
When you created each install service, you created customized installation instructions
and system configuration instructions for different clients.
Now you boot a client and the installation begins following this sequence.
1. The client is booted.

2. The client system contacts the DHCP server and retrieves the client IP address, the
boot file, and the IP address of the installer, if required.
3. The client system loads the net image.
4. The client system completes its installation by using the appropriate AI manifest.
5. The client system reboots, if <left blank intentionally>
6. During a reboot, the client system is configured by using an SC profile, or by the
administrators responses in the interactive system configuration tool.
Which option would you select to correctly complete step 5 in the installation
sequence?
The client system reboots, if the auto_reboot value is set in the AI manifest.
The client system reboots, if rebooted by the system administrator.
The client system reboots, if the auto_reboot value is set in the client.
Correct!
29.The svc.configd repository daemon for SMF is invoked automatically during system
startup, and restarted if any failures occur. When svc.configd daemon is started, it does Mark for Review
an integrity check of the SMF configuration repository. In this example the integrity (3) Points
check failed and svc.configd wrote the following message to the console.
<MESSAGE DISPLAYED BY SMF>

svc.configd: smf(5) database integrity check of:
/etc/svc/repository.db
failed. The database might be damaged or a media error might have prevented it from
being verified. Additional information useful to your service provider is in:
/etc/svc/volatile/db_errors
The system will not be able to boot until you have restored a working database.
svc.started (1M) will provide a sulogin(1M) prompt for recovery purposes. The
command:
/lib/svc/bin/restore_respository
can be run to restore a backup version of your repository. See http:

//sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-MY for more information.
You enter maintenance mode and run the restore_repository command, which takes
you through the necessary steps to restore a non-corrupt backup.
Which option describes how a SMF repository can become corrupted?
Disk failure
Hardware or Software bug
Accidental overwrite of the file.

To check for reasons why the users can't communicate over the network, you use the
ipadm and ifconfig commands to make sure the network interface is configured
correctly and is plumbed and up.
# ipadm
# ifconfig net0 up
You also check the rc directories to see what scripts may be running that are
undesired, since legacy rc scripts can still can run in addition to SMF.
Which option describes additional steps you could take to resolve the reported problem
with the network?
Troubleshoot using svcs -xv to make sure all the network services are enabled; try
enabling them by hand.
Create a backup of the faulty system before fixing anything.
