The service

1configuration
. repository
provides a perservice
snapshot at
the time each
service is
successfully
started so that
fallback is
possible. The
SMF service
always
executes with
the running
snapshot. This
snapshot is
automatically
created if it
does not exist.
You find that
the consolelogin service
configuration
on a server is
wrong, and
now need to
take steps to
fix the
problem by
reverting to
the last
snapshot that
started
successfully.
Once you have
logged in as
superuser or
equivalent role
you run the
following
commands.
# svccfg
svc:> select

e-login:default

revert start

You have two
more steps to
complete in
this process,
which are
necessary to
update the
information in
the service
configuration
and to restart
the service
instance.
What two
commands
would you run
to update the
repository with
the
configuration
information
from the start
snapshot and
then restart
this service
instance?
(Choose all correct answers)
svcadm restart system/console-login (*)

2. You have used the prtdiag command on a server to get some
information about the system configuration, diagnostics, and
failed FRUs. When the prtdiag command was executed the
following exit value of 1 was returned.
Which option describes the meaning of this exit value?
Indicates that failures or errors were detected in the system.
(*)

3. The response time within a newly configured zone is very poor,
and many services are not running. The person that configured
this new zone booted it and logged in successfully.
Within the new zone the following command is run, which
explains the state of services.

# svcs xv
No output for more than 5 minutes.

# zonecfg z newzone
zonecfg:newzone> remove capped-memory
zonecfg:newzone> commit
zonecfg:newzone> info
zonecfg:newzone> exit
# zoneadm z newzone boot
# zlogin newzone
# svcs xv
The zone should now run faster than before.
Which option would be the cause of this poor response time
reported on this new zone?
Loopback file system not enabled.
Zone mis-configured; resources caps to low. (*)
Zone initiation failed.
Physical memory capping changed.

Correct!
4. System performance, especially for compute-bound processing is
not very good. You run the mpstat command for a short time and
see that the CPU system time (sys) is fairly high, even on a
system that is not doing much.

You have the user check the settings of the zone, using the following
command to look for a specific setting that may cause a read-only file
system.
# zonecfg z web info
zonename: web
zonepath: /zones/web
brand: solaris
autoboot: true
bootargs:

The user locates a file-mac-profile property in the output of the
command, which has been set to a value of strict. By default, a
zonecfg file-mac-profile property is not set in a non-global zone. The
default policy for a nonglobal zone is to have a writable root file
system. Knowing this information, you tell the user that this is the
desired setting placed on the non-global zone and should not be
changed.
Which statement is true when describing the profile strict?
Logging and auditing configuration files can be local.
Permits updates to /var/* directories, and modification of files in
/etc/* directories.
Read-only file system, no exceptions. (*)
Permits updates to /var/* directories, with the exception of
directories that contain system configuration components.

. You know that a boot archive is a
subset of a root file system and
that the files in the boot archive are
read by the kernel before the root
filesystem is mounted. After the
root file system is mounted, the

kernel from memory.

This mode performs targeted testing of system components and

This mode tests the system with all its components, all tests are
run in parallel, and no other application except this software

37. A system has crashed with a panic. You need to analyze this system
panic and determine what kind of panic has occurred. The steps you

coverting the dump file to files that can be analyzed with the mdb
utility; and then printing a summary of information that reveals what
kind of panic took place.

38. The system administrator normally creates and manages three
important components contained in the Automated Installer (AI).
These components include:
- System manifest files (for global and non-global zones)
- Client criteria
- System configuration (SC) profile files (for global and non-global
zones)

Your manifest file contains AI installation instructions such as IPS

server location, software packages to be installed, and the location of
a non-global zone configuration file. The client criteria file allows you
to identify which clients will be associated with specific AI services.
Which option describes what you as a system administrator are
allowed to do when working with SC profile files?

You can configure clients attributes such user accounts,

networking configuration, localization, and so on.
You can select more than one SC profile for any particular client.
You can configure the Oracle Configuration Manager in a SC
profile file of clients.
All of the above (*)

39. Fault types that can occur on a system are placed in five error
categories: Software, Hardware, Critical, Fatal, System Panics, and
Warnings.

the immediate shutdown of the system?
(Choose all correct answers)

supplies. (*)

40. To install client systems by using AI, you initially set up your install
server and create at least one install service for each client
architecture and each version of Oracle Solaris that you plan to
install.
When you created each install service, you created customized
installation instructions and system configuration instructions for
different clients.
Now you boot a client and the installation begins following this
sequence.
1. The client is booted.
2. The client system contacts the DHCP server and retrieves the client
IP address, the boot file, and the IP address of the installer, if
required.
3. The client system loads the net image.
4. The client system completes its installation by using the
appropriate AI manifest.
5. The client system reboots, if <left blank intentionally>
6. During a reboot, the client system is configured by using an SC
profile, or by the administrators responses in the interactive system
configuration tool.
Which option would you select to correctly complete step 5 in the
installation sequence?
The client system reboots, if the auto_reboot value is set in the AI
manifest.
The client system reboots, if rebooted by the system
administrator.
The client system reboots, if the auto_reboot value is set in the
client.
