Solaris 11 How to Fix the Corrupted GRUB Solaris X86


In this article we are going to discuss about how to fix the Corrupted Grub while booting the Solaris X86 server. Last week I have faced the same issue on one of the Solaris X86 server which was stuck in GRUB menu, I just want to share the same to you all. 

When I rebooted the server, it went to the GRUB> menu prompt as showed below
grub >
grub >
grub >
Since we have corrupted GRUB, There is no option other than booting the server with using CD-ROM image and install the GRUB to fix the issue. For this we need to connect the CD-ROM and redirect to the Solaris_OS.iso image as showed below




















Change the First boot device as CD-ROM from BIOS setting
















Boot the server with CD-ROM image






Select the Single User Shell













Mount the root disk and Install the Grub
















Umount and reboot the server that's all.
Cool !!!! We are in boot menu now.
