  • 2. 

    Which of the following statements are correct? (2 corrent answers)

    • SMF starts after kernel initialization phase of boot process by svc.startd

    • FMRI starting with lrc is found only in Solaris 9

    • The command ‘svcadm start’ will start a service in Oracle Solaris 11

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. SMF starts after kernel initialization phase of boot process by svc.startd
    A. Boot programming phase starts after boot PROM phase
    Explanation
    The first statement is correct because SMF (Service Management Facility) starts after the kernel initialization phase of the boot process, and it is started by the svc.startd process.

    The fourth statement is also correct because the boot programming phase does indeed start after the boot PROM phase.

    A. S50sk98sol starts from directory that stores scripts executed in run level S in Solaris versions prior to Oracle Solaris 10
    Explanation

The second statement is incorrect because it states that S50sk98sol is a component of Service Management Facility, which is not mentioned in the given information. The third statement is correct because it states that S50sk98sol starts from the directory that stores scripts executed in run level S in Solaris versions prior to Oracle Solaris 10. The fourth statement is incorrect because it states that this output is produced in SunOS 5.9, which is not mentioned in the given information.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. The parent directory of this directory is /etc
    A. This directory is rc0.d
    Explanation
    The ls command listed all the files in a directory in Oracle Solaris 10. The correct answers are that the parent directory of this directory is /etc and this directory is rc0.d. These statements are correct based on the given output.

    Svc:/network/routing/rip:quagga svc:/application/graphical-login/cde-login:default Which of the following statements are correct? (2 correct answers)

    • Both of these are Fault Management Resource Identifiers

    • Network and Application are service categories

    • Network and Application are instances of services routing and graphical-login

    • Rip:quagga is started by legacy run control scripts

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Both of these are Fault Management Resource Identifiers
    A. Network and Application are service categories
    Explanation
    Both of these statements are correct. "Fault Management Resource Identifiers" refer to the specific services that are responsible for managing and monitoring faults in a system. "Network" and "Application" are service categories that categorize different types of services.

    Svc:/network/routing/rip:quagga svc:/application/graphical-login/cde-login:default Select the wrong statements from the following:

    • Cde-login is not the only instance for the service graphical-login

    • Quagga is a service of instance routing

    • Svcadm enable –t svc:/network/routing/rip:quagga will run this service until shutdown

    • Graphical-login is a service

    Correct Answer
    A. Quagga is a service of instance routing
    Explanation
    The statement "quagga is a service of instance routing" is incorrect. Quagga is a routing software suite, not a service of instance routing.

    Based on this output: cd /var/svc/manifest/network/routing # ls legacy-routing.xml   quagga.xml          ripng.xml ndp.xml                      rdisc.xml              route.xml Which of the following statements is correct?

    • All xml files for all service instances are stored in /var/svc/manifest/network/routing

    • All xml files for the service routing is stored in /var/svc/manifest/network/routing

    • An xml file itself can start a service

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All xml files for the service routing is stored in /var/svc/manifest/network/routing
    Explanation
    All xml files for the service routing is stored in /var/svc/manifest/network/routing. This is indicated by the output provided, which shows multiple xml files in the /var/svc/manifest/network/routing directory. Since the question specifically asks about the service routing, it suggests that the xml files in that directory are related to this specific service. Therefore, the correct statement is that all xml files for the service routing are stored in /var/svc/manifest/network/routing.

    Answer the question below based on the first 4 lines of the output of svcs –a: don@solaris12a$ svcs –a legacy_run     Oct_03   lrc:/etc/rc2_d/S47pppd legacy_run     Oct_03   lrc:/etc/rc2_d/S89PRESERVE disabled       Oct_03   svc:/system/device/mpxio-upgrade:default disabled       Oct_03   svc:/network/install:default This output is taken from which version of Oracle Solaris?

    • Solaris 2.6

    • Solaris 7

    • Oracle Solaris 10 and Oracle Solaris 11

    • Oracle Solaris 11

    Correct Answer
    A. Oracle Solaris 11
    Explanation
    The output of "svcs -a" command shows the status of services in Oracle Solaris. The presence of "lrc:/etc/rc2_d/S47pppd" and "lrc:/etc/rc2_d/S89PRESERVE" indicates that the system is using legacy run control scripts, which were used in older versions of Solaris. However, the presence of "svc:/system/device/mpxio-upgrade:default" and "svc:/network/install:default" services being disabled suggests that the system is running Oracle Solaris 11, as these services are specific to Solaris 11.

    • 2.6

    • Solaris 7

    • Solaris 10

    • Solaris 11

    Correct Answer
    A. Solaris 11
    Explanation
    The output of the ls -l command shows the file permissions, number of links, owner, group, file size, and modification date of each file in the /etc/init.d directory. The presence of the "UWINPro@solaris12a:" indicates that the command was run on a Solaris system. The answer "Solaris 11" is correct because the output matches the format and style of file listings in Solaris 11.

    • UFS

    • UDF

    • HSFS

    • ZFS

    Correct Answer
    A. ZFS
    Explanation
    The output of the "df -n" command shows the file systems that are currently mounted on the Oracle Solaris 11 system. Among the listed file systems, the "/ (root)" file system is shown as "zfs". This indicates that the default root file system for Oracle Solaris 11 is ZFS (Zettabyte File System).

    • Oracle Solaris 10

    • Oracle Solaris 9

    • Oracle Solaris 8

    • Oracle Solaris 11

    Correct Answer
    A. Oracle Solaris 11
    Explanation
    The given output is from the rc* directories in the /etc directory. The presence of the rcS.d directory, which contains startup and shutdown scripts, is an indication that this is from a version of Oracle Solaris that uses the System V init system. This init system was used in Oracle Solaris 10, Oracle Solaris 9, and Oracle Solaris 8. However, the presence of the rc2.d directory, which contains system startup scripts, suggests that this is specifically from Oracle Solaris 11, as Oracle Solaris 10 and earlier versions did not have an rc2.d directory. Therefore, the correct answer is Oracle Solaris 11.
