Chapter 3. Troubleshooting installation issues


To troubleshoot a failed MicroShift installation, you can run an sos report. Use the sos report command to generate a detailed report that shows all of the enabled plugins and data from the different components and applications in a system.

3.1. Gathering data from an sos report

Prerequisites

  • You must have the sos package installed.

Procedure

  1. Log into the failing host as a root user.
  2. Perform the debug report creation procedure by running the following command:

    $ microshift-sos-report

    Example output

    sosreport (version 4.5.1)
    
    This command will collect diagnostic and configuration information from
    this Red Hat Enterprise Linux system and installed applications.
    
    An archive containing the collected information will be generated in
    /var/tmp/sos.o0sznf_8 and may be provided to a Red Hat support
    representative.
    
    Any information provided to Red Hat will be treated in accordance with
    the published support policies at:
    
            Distribution Website : https://www.redhat.com/
            Commercial Support   : https://www.access.redhat.com/
    
    The generated archive may contain data considered sensitive and its
    content should be reviewed by the originating organization before being
    passed to any third party.
    
    No changes will be made to system configuration.
