In general, after the kernel panics the system, the syst
em reboots. When the kernel panics, it drops into the debugger and prints some i
nteresting information.<br/><br/> You know that the mdb utility can examine this
information to determine the cause of the panic.<br/><br/> After a system crash
, you locate the appropriate saved image and then invoke mdb.<br/><br/> # cd /va
r/crash/nodename<br/> # ls<br/> bounds unix.1 unix.3 unix.5 vmcore.1 vmcore.3 vm
core.5 <br/> unix.0 unix.2 unix.4 vmcore.0 vmcore.2 vmcore.4 <br/><br/> # mdb -k

ufs ip sctp usba uhci s1394 fcp fctl nca lofs zfs random nfs<br/> audiosup sppp
crypto md fcip logindmux ptm ipc ]<br/> > <br/><br/> As a next step, you retrie
ve a stack backtrace which shows, in reverse order, all the functions that were

active at the time of the panic.<br/><br/> Which two options are used in the mdb
debugger to generate the stack backtrace?

On the Fault Analysis and Diagnosis worksheet, you docum
ented all the information collected and analyzed for a server that is not workin
g properly. Your next step in the fault diagnosis phase is to list all the likel
y causes of the fault from the data collected. Once the likely causes are list,
there are two more steps to be completed.<br/><br/> Which two steps would be com
pleted next in the fault diagnosis phase?
Mark for Review
(2) Points
(Choose all correct answers)
Choosing the test methodology.
Identifying the impact of the chosen methodology.
Prioritizing the list of likely causes.
Testing the highest-priority cause.
Formulating the hypothesis.

You have booted an x86 based system that has Solaris ins
talled on it and noticed that it is not booting correctly. You think the problem
might be that a BIOS setting is not correctly configured.<br/><br/> Which optio
n describes the proper procedure to abort the boot process and reboot into the B
IOS configuration menu? Mark for Review
(1) Points
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to reboot the system. If this doesn't work, power the
system off, and then power the system back on again.
Press the Stop-A keys then enter reset-all. Reboot directly into the BIO
S configuration menu. Examine the BIOS settings.
Press the Ctrl-Alt-Del keys and reboot the system, or press the reset bu
tton. When the screen tells you the key to enter the BIOS, press it and examine
your BIOS settings.
While holding down the reset button, power cycle the system.

Correct

Correct!
