Hey,
Had a few issues when using solaris-minimal-server pkg for my systems. Reason for using this is to minimize my environment to save on storage space to be efficient. Idea was Gz as minimal to be more like a "hyper-visor" while KZ or NGZ can be of other types like small server. One problem is man pages aren't included and I've searched around on Oracle's Docs. I don't see why I can't view any man pages. Am I missing some simple piece of knowledge? (even tried playing with doc.man facets). This only occurs on the minimal install.

Also I've followed other published blogs and documents and had other odd issues for example sharing storage with SMB and everything was correctly setup and client side could detect the remote drive but could not connect, using passwd and user based authentication or even guest accounts would not work either! Also tried configuring Solaris AI server on a minimal server and have other odd issues and no client can even receive a boot-file from PXE boot.
dmesg things like: - yet I can ssh to this host and no issues found on network that I can see....

host IP is assigned by the router to the exact same IP over net0 every time on that exact interface so is always showing:

I'm using a HTTP interface and can access the repo I created from a browser, I can also use the AI wizard on port 5555. This should all be quite basic stuff to setup. no problems with any services.
