Oracle Solaris 11 - System Configuration

During the installation process, various SMF (Service Management Facility) services are activated on the first reboot to apply different parts of the system configuration profile. This is necessary to ensure that the system is properly configured and all necessary services are running. Therefore, the statement "During installation process different SMF services are activated on first reboot to apply different parts of system configuration profile" is true.

The Sysconfig tool can run interactively using the System Configuration Interactive Tool. This allows users to configure and manage various system settings and parameters in a user-friendly and interactive manner.

SMF stands for Service Management Facility. This is a software framework used in Unix-like operating systems for managing system services. It provides a standardized way to start, stop, and monitor services, as well as manage dependencies between them. SMF ensures that services are started in the correct order and can automatically restart failed services. It also provides logging and error reporting capabilities, making it easier to troubleshoot and maintain system services.

The "sysconfig" utility in Oracle Solaris 11 system is used to unconfigure and reconfigure an existing system. This means that it allows users to modify and adjust the configuration settings of the system, such as network settings, hardware configurations, and system services. This utility enables users to make changes to the system's configuration without having to reinstall the entire operating system. It provides a convenient and efficient way to customize the system according to specific requirements or to troubleshoot any configuration issues.

The correct answer is "svc:/system/name-service/switch" because it indicates that the /etc/nsswitch.conf file has been migrated to the service named "name-service/switch" within the "system" service group.

The statement is false because sysconfig can be used in both global zones and non-global zones. Sysconfig is a command used in Solaris Operating System to configure system parameters and settings. It can be used in the global zone to configure settings that apply to the entire system, as well as in non-global zones to configure settings specific to that zone.

The correct answer is svc:/system/identity:node. This service manages the host name.

The /etc/default/init service is used for the default locale and time zone configuration. This means that it sets the default language and region settings for the system, as well as the default time zone.

SMF repositories are assembled through layers, which include the combination of the current state, administrative customization through profiles, and default values as specified by the manifest imported in the system. This means that the SMF repositories are built by taking into account the existing state of the system, any customizations made by administrators through profiles, and the default values specified in the manifest. All of these components are combined to create the SMF repositories.

ASR stands for Advanced Service Requests. This acronym refers to a system or process that allows users to make advanced or complex service requests. It suggests that the service requests being made are more sophisticated or require a higher level of expertise or resources.

SMF repositories play a role in system configuration by providing better control over software installation and upgradation. This means that the repositories allow for easier management and control of the software that is installed on a system, as well as the ability to easily update and upgrade that software. This can help ensure that the system is running the latest and most secure versions of software, and allows for more efficient and streamlined management of software across multiple systems.

The services that have been migrated to the SMF configuration repository are /etc/profilename and /etc/nodename. The other options (/etc/layername and /etc/nameservice) are not mentioned as being migrated to the SMF configuration repository.
