Installadm add-manifest
Aliased to existing installadm add
Supports new AI manifest grammar as well as old combined Criteria manifest (for older installer services)
Criteria specified separately from AI manifest

# installadm add-manifest -n svc-2010-11 -m /tmp/man1.xml
-c mac=aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa

# installadm add-manifest -n svc-2010-11 -m /tmp/man2.xml
-C /tmp/criteria.xml

# installadm add-manifest -n svc-2009-06 -m /tmp/critman1.xml

installadm set-criteria
New subcommand to modify criteria for AI manifests that have already been added.

# installadm set-criteria -n svc-2010-11 -m man1.xml
-c mac=bb:bb:bb:bb:bb:bb

# installadm set-criteria -n svc-2009-06 -m critman1.xml
-a mem=2048-8196

AI – “install” boot argument
AI requires “install” boot argument to initiate hands-free installation.
Sparc:
ok> boot net:dhcp – install
X86:
Choose second grub menu entry
Absence of “install” boot argument boots into the AI boot image.
Can be used for recovery purposes.
Helpful for capturing data and debugging.
Can enable the automated installation after booting into boot image.
# svcadm enable svc:/application/auto-installer:default

How do I Troubleshoot it?
Turning on Debug mode.
LiveCD
Open up a terminal, as root run installer with debug turned on:
# export LS_DBG_LVL=4
# /usr/bin/gui-install

Text Installer
Select 'Shell' from text mode menu.  Run installer with debug turned on:
# export LS_DBG_LVL=4
# /usr/bin/text-install -d -l /tmp/install_ui.log

Log Files and other files to gather:
Common to all installers:
/tmp/install_log
Text installer specfic files:
/tmp/install_ui.log
AI specific files:
/tmp/ai.xml
/tmp/sc_manifest.xml
/var/svc/log/application-auto-installer:default.log
