    What is the minimum disk space for a Solaris 10 Installation?

    • A. 

      1Gb

    • B.

    Correct Answer
    D. 12Gb
    Explanation
    The minimum disk space required for a Solaris 10 Installation is 12Gb. This is because the installation process and the operating system itself require a certain amount of disk space to function properly. Anything less than 12Gb may result in insufficient space for the installation process and could lead to errors or incomplete installation.

    Which of these are valid boot options when building a server from CDROM/DVD?

    • A. 

      Boot cdrom

    • B.

    • A. 

      Prototype file

    • B. 

      Pkgdata file

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Prototype file
    C. Pkginfo file
    D. Installation scripts
    Explanation
    The required components of a package include the prototype file, which defines the file hierarchy and permissions of the package; the pkginfo file, which contains information about the package such as its name, version, and dependencies; and the installation scripts, which are used to execute specific actions during the installation process. The pkgdata file and pkgconfig file are not mentioned as required components, so they are not included in the answer.

  • 8. 

    Which of these is an incorrect command for handling packages?

    • A. 

      Pkgchk

    • B.

    • C. 

      Pkgtrans

    • D. 

      Pkgparam

    Correct Answer
    B. Pkgconvert
    Explanation
    The command "pkgconvert" is not a valid command for handling packages. The correct commands for handling packages are "pkgchk" for checking package integrity, "pkgtrans" for package conversion and installation, and "pkgparam" for displaying package information. However, "pkgconvert" is not recognized as a valid command for handling packages.

    Correct Answer
    C. -G
    Explanation
    The -G switch is used to install the package only in the current zone. This means that the package will not be installed in any other zones that may be present on the system. The other switches (-z, -Z, -a) do not have this specific functionality and may install the package in multiple zones or in the global zone.

    The minimum CPU speed for a Solaris 10 X86 Installation is 120 MHz. This means that the computer must have a processor with a clock speed of at least 120 MHz in order to run the Solaris 10 operating system. A CPU speed lower than this may not be able to handle the system requirements and may result in poor performance or the operating system not functioning properly.

    When powering on a system which of the following STOP key options is incorrect?

    • A. 

      Pressing STOP bypasses the POST

    • B. 

      Pressing STOP-A aborts the startup

    • C. 

      Pressing STOP-D enters diagnostic mode

    • D. 

      Pressing STOP-S boots into single user mode

    • E. 

      Pressing STOP-N resets NVRAM contents to their default values

    Correct Answer
    D. Pressing STOP-S boots into single user mode
    Explanation
    Pressing the STOP-S key combination does not boot the system into single user mode. Single user mode is typically accessed by pressing a different key combination, such as Command-S on a Mac or F8 on a Windows PC. The STOP key options mentioned in the question are commonly used on Sun Microsystems' SPARC systems, where STOP-N resets NVRAM contents to their default values, STOP-A aborts the startup, STOP-D enters diagnostic mode, and STOP bypasses the POST (Power-On Self-Test).

    Which of these are valid ways of definig a system's default runlevel?You may select more than 1 answer.

    • A. 

      The initdefault entry in /etc/inittab

    • B. 

      The file /etc/defaults/runlevel

    • C. 

      The default.runlevel property of SMF

    • D. 

      The milestone property of SMF

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. The initdefault entry in /etc/inittab
    D. The milestone property of SMF
    Explanation
    The initdefault entry in /etc/inittab is a valid way of defining a system's default runlevel. This entry specifies the default runlevel that the system should boot into.

    The milestone property of SMF is also a valid way of defining a system's default runlevel. SMF (Service Management Facility) is a feature in Solaris operating system that manages system services, and the milestone property specifies the default runlevel for the system.

    Both of these methods can be used to set the default runlevel of a system.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    Which of these statements about system runlevels is incorrect?

    • A. 

      Run level S is single user mode

    • B. 

      Run level 1 is single user administrative mode

    • D. 

      Run level 5 will power the system down

    • E. 

      Run level 6 will reboot the system to the default runlevel

    Correct Answer
    C. Run level 2 is the default multi-user runlevel
    Explanation
    Run level 2 is not the default multi-user runlevel. The correct answer is that run level 3 is the default multi-user runlevel. Run level 2 is a multi-user runlevel, but it is not the default. The default runlevel varies depending on the operating system, but it is typically either run level 3 or run level 5.
