We talked about sending status back to server like SNMP traps, transferring the logs (in the case of failure) etc. We have to decide what facilities are available to interpret the information coming from the client. Some of the observability discussion is captured in http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/caiman/auto_install/WebServerProblemStatement/. We also discussed some stages like failures after solaris is booted are more observable than others like failures during pxe boot. Each stage of the sparc and X86 booting is captured in http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/caiman/auto_install/WebserverUseCases/
