To ask the question in a slightly different way:
What would the steps be to restart an install from the console of a
system which had failed to complete AI?
For instance, recently we've had a network outage in the lab which
caused an AI to timeout and fail. Having logged onto the system and
diagnosing the error, it would be more sysadmin friendly to kick of
the auto install process from the miniroot, rather than having to
possibly re-setup AI and reboot system etc.
I would *guess* (which means I haven't tried this, and I'm quite
probably incorrect) that you could zpool destroy the root pool that AI
created for the install and then restart the auto-installer.
I tried this but it fails since one of the zfs device was assigned as
dump device. Then I have to assign some other device as dump device and
then destroy the zpool.
But I am still not able to understand the difference between a reboot of
the client and restarting the service since both results in zpool destroy.
The log file /system/volatile/install_log will not be affected by
removing the pool.
Please let me know if I am missing something as I am new to automated
installer.
Thanks a lot for replying.
