Exam A
QUESTION 1
zone1 is a non-global zone that has been configured and installed.
zone1 was taken down for maintenance, and the following command was run:
zoneadm -z zone1 mark incomplete
The following information is displayed when listing the zones on your system:
Which task needs to be performed before you can boot zone1?
A. The zone needs to be installed.

B. The zone needs to be brought to the ready state.
C. The zone needs to be uninstalled and reinstalled.
D. The zone needs to be brought to the complete state.
Correct Answer: C
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
If administrative changes on the system have rendered a zone unusable or inconsistent, it is possible to change the state of an installed zone to incomplete.
Marking a zone incomplete is irreversible. The only action that can be taken on a zone marked incomplete is to uninstall the zone and return it to the configured
state.
QUESTION 2
You need to make sure that all of the software packages on your server are up to date. Without installing any updates, which two commands would display .my
software updates that are available in the default Oracle repository?
A. pkg list -u
B. pkg verify –u ‘*’
C. pkg search –u
D. pkg info –r ‘*’
E. pkg install –nv
F. pkg update –nv ‘*’
Correct Answer: AD
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
A: the pgk list command display a list of packages in the current image, including state and other information. By default, package variants for a different
architecture or zone type are excluded.
D: pkginfo displays information about software packages that are installed on the system (with the first synopsis, with -l) or that reside on a particular device or
directory (with the second synopsis, with -r).
Without options, pkginfo lists the primary category, package instance, and the names of all completely installed and partially installed packages. It displays one line
for each package selected.
With -r, retrieve the data from the repositories of the image's configured publishers. Note that you must specify one or more package patterns in this case.
QUESTION 3
Which best describes the svc:/system/boot-config service?
A. It is used to change the milestone on a system.

B. It is used to set the default run level of the system.
C. It provides the parameters used to set the system to automatically perform a fast or slow reboot.
D. When the service is enabled, the system performs a fast reboot by default; when it is disable the system performs a slow reboot by default.
Correct Answer: C
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Starting with the Oracle Solaris 11 Express release, Fast Reboot is supported on the SPARC platform, as well as the x86 platform. On both platforms, this feature is
controlled by the SMF and implemented through a boot configuration service, svc:/system/boot-config. The boot-config service provides a means for setting or
changing the default boot configuration parameters.
The fastreboot_default property of the boot-config service enables an automatic fast reboot of the system when either the reboot or the init 6 command is used.
When the config/fastreboot_default property is set to true the system automatically performs a fast reboot, without the need to use the reboot -f command. By
default, this property's value is set to false on the SPARC platform and to true on the x86 platform.
QUESTION 4

C: starting with letter e, f, or g, followed by anything.
QUESTION 5
You created an IP address for interface not.3 with the following command, which executed successfully:
ipadm create-addr –T static –a 192.168.0.100/24 net3/v4
You then ran:
ipadm show–if
The result indicated that the interface was down.
You then ran:

ipadm delete-addr net3/v4
ipadm create-addr –T static –a 192.168.0.101/24 net3/v4
ipadm show-if
The last command indicated that the interface was up.
Why did it work with the second address specified, but not the first?
A. The 192.168.0.100 address is reserved for broadcast messages.

B. Another device exists on the network, using the 192.168.0.100 address.
C. The network interface card does not support the address 192.168.0.100.
D. The address 192.168.0.100 is at a boundary and may not be configured in Oracle Solaris 11.
E. 192.168.0.100 is a DHCP address and may not be statically configured in Oracle Solaris 11.
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
The first IP address is already in use.
QUESTION 6
You have a ticket from a new user on the system, indicating that he cannot log in to his account. The information in the ticket gives you both the username and
password. The ticket also shows that the account was set up three days ago.
As root, you switch users to this account with the following command:
su – newuser
You do not get an error message.

You then run 1s -1a and see the following files:
local1.cshrc local1.login local1.profile .bash_history .bashrc .profile
As root, you grep the /etc/passwd file and the /etc/shadow file for this username, with these results:
/etc/passwd contains newuser:x:60012:10:/home/newuser:/usr/bin/bash
/etc/shadow contains newuser:UP: : : : :10: :
As root, what is your next logical step?
A. Usermod –f 0
B. passwd newuser
C. mkdir /home/newuser
D. useradd –D
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
The content of the /etc/shadow document indicates that the newuser account has no password.
We need to add a password.
The passwd utility is used to update user's authentication token(s).
D: Here the user account already exist. There is no need to create it.
When invoked without the -D option, the useradd command creates a new user account using the values specified on the command line plus the default values
from the system. Depending on command line options, the useradd command will update system files and may also create the new user's home directory and copy
initial files.
QUESTION 7
You have a user that needs to use the cron tool to schedule some repetitive tasks. When the user enters the crontab –e command in a terminal window, the
following error appears:
crontab: you are not authorized to use cron. Sorry
In order to troubleshoot this issue, in what directory would you start your invest
A. /etc/cron.d
B. /var/spool/cron
C. /var/spool/cron/crontable
D. /var/spool/cron/atjobs
Correct Answer: A
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
crontab: you are not authorized to use cron. Sorry.
This message means that either the user is not listed in the cron.allow file (if the file exists), or the user is listed in the cron.deny file.
You can control access to the crontab command by using two files in the /etc/cron.d directory: cron.deny and cron.allow. These files permit only specified users to
perform crontab command tasks such as creating, editing, displaying, or removing their own crontab files.
The cron.deny and cron.allow files consist of a list of user names, one user name per line.
QUESTION 8
You are having an issue with the shutdown command. You wish to determine if the file is a script or an executable program. Which command would you use to
determine this?
A. od shutdown
B. file shutdown
C. test shutdown
D. cksum shutdown
E. attrib shutdown
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
The file command determines the file type file tests each argument in an attempt to classify it. There are three sets of tests, performed in this order: filesystem tests,
magic tests, and language tests. The first test that succeeds causes the file type to be printed.
QUESTION 9
What determines which bits in an IP address represent the subnet, and which represent the host?
A. Subnet
B. unicast
C. netmask
D. multicast
E. broadcast
Correct Answer: C
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
A subnetwork, or subnet, is a logically visible subdivision of an IP network. The practice of dividing a network into two or more networks is called subnetting.
The routing prefix of an address is written in a form identical to that of the address itself. This is called the network mask, or netmask, of the address. For example,
a specification of the most-significant 18 bits of an IPv4 address, 11111111.11111111.11000000.00000000, is written as 255.255.192.0.
QUESTION 10
Which two accurately identify features of a Solaris 10 branded zone?
A. executes in a Solaris 10 global zone

B. is created by importing a Solaris 10 flash archive
C. enables Linux binary applications to run unmodified
D. provides a complete runtime environment for Solaris 9 applications
E. allows a Solaris 10 global zone to be migrated into a Solaris 10 non-global zone on a Solaris 11 system
Correct Answer: BE
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
B: It can be created by importing a Solaris 10 flash archive.
You can use the Oracle Solaris Flash archiving tools to create an image of an installed system that can be migrated into a zone.
The system can be fully configured with all of the software that will be run in the zone before the image is created. This image is then used by the installer when the
zone is installed.
Note: You can use alternate methods for creating the archive. The installer can accept the following archive formats:
* cpio archives
* gzip compressed cpio archives
* bzip2 compressed cpio archives
* pax archives created with the -x xustar (XUSTAR) format
Ä ufsdump level zero (full) backups
Note:
Branded zones that run an environment different that the OS release on the system
* The lx branded zone introduced in the Solaris 10 8/07 release provides a Linux environment for your applications and runs on x86 and x64 machines on the
Oracle Solaris 10 OS.
* The solaris8 and solaris9 branded zones enable you to migrate an Oracle Solaris 8 or Oracle Solaris 9 system to an Oracle Solaris 8 or Oracle Solaris 9 Container
on a host running the Oracle Solaris 10 8/07 Operating System or later Oracle Solaris 10 release.
* The Oracle Solaris 10 Container brand is available in OpenSolaris build 127. These branded zones host Oracle Solaris 10 user environments.
Note: One of the powerful features of Solaris 11 is the ability to run a Solaris 10 environment in a zone. Solaris 10 allows you to run Solaris 8 and 9 environments in
zones, but only on SPARC.
QUESTION 11
You are troubleshooting a newly installed desktop Oracle Solaris 11 system with a single network interface. From this system, you can connect to other systems
within the company intranet, but cannot access any external services (such as websites and email), even when using IP addresses.
Examining the routing table confirms that the default route to 192.168.1.1 is missing. DHCP is not used at this site. Which two commands will temporarily mid
permanently configure the default route?
A. ipadm set-gateway 192.168.1.1

B. route add default 192.168.1.1
C. ipadm set-default 192.168.1.1
D. dladm route-add –d 192.168.1.1
E. echo 192.168.1.1 >/etc/gateway
F. echo 192.168.1.1 >/etc/defaultrouter
Correct Answer: BF
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
B: Setting the default route on Solaris is easy. If you are trying to just set the route temporarily you can use the route command:
Route add default <ipaddress>
Example:
Route add default 192.168.1.1
Note: Route command manipulates the kernel routing tables. Routing is the process of forwarding a packet from one computer to another. It is based on the IP
address in the IP packet header and netmask.
F: If you want the route to be persisted when you reboot the system, you will need to set the route in the /etc/defaultrouter file.
/etc/defaultrouter
Example:
Echo 192.168.1.1 > /etc/defaultrouter
QUESTION 12
You want the system to generate an email notification each time one of the services has changed its state. Which option would send an email message to the
system administrator whenever a service changes to the maintenance state?
A. Use the setsc command in ALOM to enable the mail alerts to be sent to a specified email address whenever the fault management facility detects a service
change to the maintenance state.
B. Make an entry in the /etc/syslog.conf file to instruct syslogd to send an email alert when it receives a message from the SMF facility that a service has changed
to the maintenance state.
C. Use the svccfg setnotify command to create a notification and send an email when a service enters the maintenance state.
D. Use the scvadm command to enable the notification service. Set the –g maintenance option on the netnotify service to send an email when a service enters the
maintenance state.
Correct Answer: C
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
This procedure causes the system to generate an email notification each time one of the services or a selected service has a change in state. You can choose to
use either SMTP or SNMP. Normally, you would only select SNMP if you already have SNMP configured for some other reason.
By default, SNMP traps are sent on maintenance transitions. If you use SNMP for monitoring, you can configure additional traps for other state transitions.
1. Become an administrator or assume a role that includes the Service Management rights profile.
2. Set notification parameters.
Example:
The following command creates a notification that sends email when transactions go into the maintenance state
# /usr/sbin/svccfg setnotify -g maintenance mailto:sysadmins@example.com
QUESTION 13
How are operating system updates distributed in the Oracle Solaris 11 environment?
A. Updates are only available to customers with an active support contract. The updates are distributed through the My Oracle Support web portal and installed in a
central location. All software packages are then updated manually from the command line using the smpatch command.
B. Patches are download from http: //support.oracle.com either automatically or manually. All software packages are then updated manually from the command
line using the smpatch or patchadd commands.
C. Software updates are published as packages to a repository. All software packages are then updated manually from the command line using the pkg command.
D. Software updates, published as packages to an OS image. All software packages are then updated manually from the command line using the pkg command.
Correct Answer: C
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
* Updating all of the packages on your installed system – To update all of the packages on your system that have available updates, use the pkg update command,
as follows:
# pkg update
Running this command updates packages that you might not otherwise consider updating, for example, kernel components and other low-level system packages.
* Adding or updating individual packages – To add individual software packages, use the pkg install command. Any dependent packages are also updated at the
same time.
* install package updates that deliver fixes– A pkg update operation might include bug fixes, so the operation is similar to applying a specific patch or patches in
previous Oracle Solaris releases.
Note: The IPS interfaces first check for updates for currently installed packages before retrieving them via the network. By default, interfaces check repository
catalogs in the following locations:
* The default installation repository at pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release.

* The support repository in My Oracle Support. This repository is restricted to users with Oracle Solaris 11 Express support contracts, and it contains packages with
the latest bug fixes. For this reason, a support contract must be purchased for production deployments.

Which command would display the Solaris 11 build version currently running on your system?
A. pkg info all

B. cat /etc/release
C. cat /etc/update
D. prtconf | grep –i update
E. pkg info entire
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Which Solaris release you are running on your system can be determined using the following command:
cat /etc/release
This will tell you which release you are running and when it was released.
The more recent your system, the more info is contained in this file.
Example:

QUESTION 17
You need to configure an ISCSI target device on your x86 based Oracle Solaris II system. While configuring the iSCSI device, the following error is displayed:
bash: stmfadm: command not found
Which option describes the solution to the problem?
A. The COMSTAR feature is not supported on the x86 platform. The feature is supported only on the SPARC platform.
B. Use the iscsitadm command on the x86 platform when configuring an iSCSI target.
C. Install the storage-server group package on this system.
D. Start the iSCSI target daemon on this system.
Correct Answer: C
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
STMF – Manages transactions, such as context and resources for Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) command execution, and tracking logical unit and port
providers. STMF also handles logical unit mappings, allocating memory, recovering failed operations, enumeration, and other necessary functions of an I/O stack.
STMF is controlled by stmfadm, and stmfadm is the majority of the commands you will be using to administer COMSTAR (COmmon Multiprotocl Scsi TARget).
Install the packages you need for COMSTAR with iSCSI and reboot:
# pfexec pkg install storage-server

# pfexec pkg install SUNWiscsit
# shutdown -y -i6 -g0
Note: You can set up and configure a COMSTAR Internet SCSI (iSCSI) target and make it available over the network. The iSCSI features can work over a normal
Internet connection (such as Ethernet) using the standard iSCSI protocol. The iSCSI protocol also provides naming and discovery services, authentication services
using CHAP and RADIUS, and centralized management through iSNS.
The COMSTAR target mode framework runs as the stmf service. By default, the service is disabled. You must enable the service to use COMSTAR functionality.
You can identify the service with the svcs command. If you have not rebooted the server since installing the group/feature/storage-server package, the service
might not be enabled correctly.
QUESTION 18
Your SPARC server will not boot into multi user-server milestones and you need to troubleshoot to out why. You need to start the server with minimal services
running so that you can go through each milestone manually to troubleshoot the issue.
Select the option that boots the server with the fewest services running.
A. boot -s
B. boot milestone none
C. boot -m milestone=single-user
D. boot -m milestone=none
E. boot -m none
Correct Answer: D
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
The command boot -m milestone=none is useful in repairing a system that have problems booting early.
Boot Troubleshooting:
To step through the SMF portion of the boot process, start with:
boot -m milestone=none
Then step through the milestones for the different boot levels:
svcadm milestone svc:/milestone/single-user:default
svcadm milestone svc:/milestone/multi-user:default
svcadm milestone svc:/milestone/multi-user-server:default
QUESTION 19
User1 is attempting to assist user2 with terminating user2's process 1234.
User1 entered the following: kill -9 1234
Why does the process continue to run?
A. You can kill a process only if you are root.

B. You can kill only a process that you own.
C. You can kill the process only with the pkill command.
D. You need to kill the process with a stronger kill signal.
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Kill -9
Kill (terminates without cleanup)
Only works if issued by process owner or super user (root)
The program cannot respond to this signal; it must terminate
Note: Unix provides security mechanisms to prevent unauthorized users from killing other processes. Essentially, for a process to send a signal to another, the
owner of the signaling process must be the same as the owner of the receiving process or be the superuser.
QUESTION 20
Your server has one zone named dbzone (hat has been configured, but not yet installed). Which command would you use to view all the options that were used to

QUESTION 21
Your users are experiencing delay issues while using their main application that requires connections to remote hosts. You run the command uptime and get the
flowing output:
1:07am up 346 day(s), 12:03, 4 users, load average: 0.02, 0.02, 0.01
Which command will be useful in your next step of troubleshooting?
A. ipadm
B. traceroute
C. dladm
D. snoop
E. arp
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Test the remote connection with traceroute.
The Internet is a large and complex aggregation of network hardware, connected together by gateways. Tracking the route one's packets follow (or finding the
miscreant gateway that's discarding your packets) can be difficult. traceroute utilizes the IP protocol `time to live' field and attempts to elicit an ICMP
TIME_EXCEEDED response from each gateway along the path to some host.
This program attempts to trace the route an IP packet would follow to some internet host by launching UDP probe packets with a small ttl (time to live) then listening
for an ICMP "time exceeded" reply from a gateway.
QUESTION 22
When upgrading an existing system from Solaris 11 Express to Oracle Solaris 11, what happens to the datalink names?
A. They follow the default naming convention for the newly installed version.
B. They maintain their names.
C. They are called eth#.
D. They are called el00g#.
E. They are left unnamed, to avoid conflicts, and need to be renamed after the installation process is complete.
Correct Answer: A
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Network configuration in Oracle Solaris 11 includes
* Generic datalink name assignment – Generic names are automatically assigned to datalinks using the net0, net1, netN naming convention, depending on the total
number of network devices that are on the system
Note: There is no upgrade path from Oracle Solaris 10 to Oracle Solaris 11. You must perform a fresh installation.
QUESTION 23
You have installed software updates to a new boot environment (BE) and have activated that the booting to the new BE, you notice system errors. You want to boot
to the last known good configuration.
Which option would you use on a SPARC system to boot to the currentBE boot environment?
A. boot –L currentBE
B. boot –Z rpool/ROOT/currentBE
C. boot –a Enter the currentBE dataset name when prompted.
D. boot rpool/ROOT/currentBE
E. boot –m currentBE
F. beadm activate currentBE
Correct Answer: F
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
You can change an inactive boot environment into an active boot environment. Only one boot environment can be active at a time. The newly activated boot
environment becomes the default environment upon reboot.
How to Activate an Existing Boot Environment

1. Use the following command to activate an existing, inactive boot environment:
beadm activate beName
beName is a variable for the name of the boot environment to be activated.
Note the following specifications.
beadm activate beName activates a boot environment by setting the bootable pool property, bootfs, to the value of the ROOT dataset of the boot environment that
is being activated.
beadm activate sets the newly activated boot environment as the default in the menu.lst file.
2. Reboot.
The newly activated boot environment is now the default on the x86 GRUB menu or SPARC boot menu.
QUESTION 24
Oracle Solaris 11 limits access to the system with usernames and passwords.
The usernames are held in ___________, and the passwords are held in ___________.
Select the correct pair.
A. /etc/security/policy.conf /etc/passwd
B. /etc/passwd /etc/shadow
C. /etc/security /etc/passwd
D. /etc/shadow /etc/passwd
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
The /etc/passwd file contains basic user attributes. This is an ASCII file that contains an entry for each user. Each entry defines the basic attributes applied to a
user.
/etc/shadow file stores actual password in encrypted format for user's account with additional properties related to user password i.e. it stores secure user account
information. All fields are separated by a colon (:) symbol. It contains one entry per line for each user listed in /etc/passwd file.
QUESTION 25
_________ serves as the interface between the SMF repository and the user to ensure that a consistent, picture of the repository is presented to the user.
A. repository.db
B. service manifest
C. svc.startd
D. svc.configd
Correct Answer: D
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
SVC.CONFIGD is the repository daemon responsible for maintaining /etc/svc/repository.db. The repository.db must come clean during this integrity check otherwise
it is a "no go" for usual boot sequence to run level 3. The repository may get corrupted due to various hardware issues, software bugs, disk write failures, etc.
Note: When svc.configd(1M), the Solaris Repository Daemon, is started, it does an integrity check of the smf(5) repository, stored in /etc/svc/repository.db. This
integrity check can fail due to a disk failure, the database file being corrupted either due to a hardware bug, a software bug, or an accidental overwrite. If the
integrity check fails, svc.configd will write a message to the console.
QUESTION 26
You are attempting to edit your crontab file in the bash shell. Instead of getting your usual vi interface, you are presented with an unfamiliar interface. In order to
have your editor of choice-vi- what command must you type after exiting the unfamiliar editor?
A. EDITOR=vi
B. crontab=vi
C. crontab – e vi
D. env
Correct Answer: A
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Set the EDITOR variable to vi.
Commands like `crontab -e` will use ed per default. If you'd like to use some better editor (like vi) you can use the environment variable EDITOR:
# EDITOR=vi; crontab –e will open the users crontab in vi. Of course you can set this variable permanently.
Incorrect answers
C: -e Edits a copy of the current user's crontab file, or creates an empty file to edit if crontab does not exist. When editing is complete, the file is installed as the
user's crontab file. If a username is given, the specified user's crontab file is edited, rather than the current user's crontab file; this can only be done by a user with
the solaris.jobs.admin authorization. The environment variable EDITOR determines which editor is invoked with the -e option. The default editor is ed(1). All crontab
jobs should be submitted using crontab. Do not add jobs by just editing the crontab file, because cron is not aware of changes made this way.
QUESTION 27
You want to display the IP address assignments of the network interfaces. Which command should you use?
A. ipadm show-if
B. ipadm show-addr
C. ipadm show-prop
D. ipadm show-addrprop
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)

The following image properties are displayed on your system:
Which two options describe the boot environment policy property that is currently set for this image?
A. All package operations are performed in a new BE set as active on the next boot.
B. Do not create a new BE. The install, update, uninstall, or revert operation is not performed if a new BE is required.
C. If a BE is created, do not set it as the active BE on the next boot
D. A reboot is required for all package operations
E. A reboot is not required after a package operation.
F. For package operations that require a reboot, this policy creates a new BE set as active on the next boot.
Correct Answer: DF
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Image properties described below.
* be-policy
Specifies when a boot environment is created during packaging operations. The following values are allowed:
/ default
Apply the default BE creation policy: create-backup.
/ always-new (D, F)
Require a reboot for all package operations (D) by performing them in a new BE set as active on the next boot (F). A backup BE is not created unless explicitly
requested.
This policy is the safest, but is more strict than most sites need since no packages can be added without a reboot.
QUESTION 29
dbzone is currently running on your server.
Which two methods would you use to safely and cleanly shut down dbzone and all of its applications?
A. zlogin –z dbzone halt

B. zoneadm –z dbzone shutdown –i0
C. zoneadm –z dbzone shutdown
D. zoneadm –z dbzone halt
E. zlogin dbzone shutdown –i0
Correct Answer: DE
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
D: zoneadm halt command halts the specified zones. halt bypasses running the shutdown scripts inside the zone. It also removes run time resources of the zone.
E: Use: zlogin zone shutdown
to cleanly shutdown the zone by running the shutdown scripts.
Use this procedure to cleanly shut down a zone.

1. Become superuser, or assume the Primary Administrator role.

The su command by default makes an entry into the log file for every su command attempt. The following is a single line from the file:
SU 12/18 23:20 + pts/1 user1-root
What does the + sign represent?
A. unsuccessful attempt
B. successful attempt
C. The attempt was from a pseudo terminal, and not the console.
D. The attempt was from a user that is in the adm group, same as root.
E. Time zone is not set.
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
The sulog file, /var/adm/sulog, is a log containing all attempts (whether successful or not) of the su command. An entry is added to the sulog file every time the su
command is executed. The fields in sulog are: date, time, successful (+) or unsuccessful (-), port, user executing the su command, and user being switched to. In
the preceding example, all su attempts were successful, except for the attempt on 2/23 at 20:51, when user pete unsuccessfully attempted to su to user root.
Look for entries where an unauthorized user has used the command inappropriately. The following entry shows a successful (indicated by +) su from user userid to
root.
SU 03/31 12:52 + pts/0 <userid>-root

QUESTION 37
Which two options accurately describe the network characteristics of a zone?
A. DHCP address assignment cannot be configured in a shared IP zone.

B. Shared IP is the default type of network configuration.
C. Exclusive IP is the default type of network configuration.
D. By default, all IP addresses, netmasks, and routes are set by the global zone and cannot be altered in a non global zone.
E. IPMP cannot be managed within the non-global zone.
F. Commands such as snoop and dladm cannot be used on datalinks that are in use by a running zone.
Correct Answer: AB
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
A: Non-global zones can not utilize DHCP (neither client nor server).
B (not C): By default, non-global zones will be configured with a shared IP functionality. What this means is that IP layer configuration and state is shared between
the zone you’re creating and the global zone. This usually implies both zones being on the same IP subnet for each given NIC.
Note: A zone is a virtual operating system abstraction that provides a protected environment in which applications run. The applications are protected from each
other to provide software fault isolation. To ease the labor of managing multiple applications and their environments, they co-exist within one operating system
instance, and are usually managed as one entity.
The original operating environment, before any zones are created, is also called the "global zone" to distinguish it from non-global zones, The global zone is the
operating system instance.
Incorrect answer:
E: Exclusive-IP zones can use IPMP. IPMP is configured the same way in an exclusive-IP zone as it is on a system not using zones.
For shared-IP zones, IPMP can be configured in the global zone.
F: Full IP-level functionality is available in an exclusive-IP zone.
An exclusive-IP zone has its own IP-related state.
An exclusive-IP zone is assigned its own set of data-links using the zonecfg command. The zone is given a data-link name such as xge0, e1000g1, or bge32001,
using the physical property of the net resource. The address property of the net resource is not set.
Note that the assigned data-link enables the snoop command to be used.
The dladm command can be used with the show-linkprop subcommand to show the assignment of data-links to running exclusive-IP zones.

You have installed the SMF notification framework to monitor services. Which command is used to set up the notifications for a particular service?
A. svccfg
B. svcadm
C. setnotify
D. smtp-notify
Correct Answer: A
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
How to Set Up Email Notification of SMF Transition Events
This procedure causes the system to generate an email notification each time one of the services or a selected service has a change in state. You can choose to
use either SMTP or SNMP. Normally, you would only select SNMP if you already have SNMP configured for some other reason.
By default, SNMP traps are sent on maintenance transitions. If you use SNMP for monitoring, you can configure additional traps for other state transitions.
1. Become an administrator or assume a role that includes the Service Management rights profile.'
2. Set notification parameters.
Example 1:
The following command creates a notification that sends email when transactions go into the maintenance state.
# /usr/sbin/svccfg setnotify -g maintenance mailto:sysadmins@example.com
Example 2:
The following command creates a notification that sends email when the switch service goes into the online state.
# /usr/sbin/svccfg -s svc:/system/name-service/switch:default setnotify to-online \ mailto:sysadmins@example.com
Note: The svccfg command manipulates data in the service configuration repository. svccfg can be invoked interactively, with an individual subcommand, or by
specifying a command file that contains a series of subcommands.
Changes made to an existing service in the repository typically do not take effect for that service until the next time the service instance is refreshed.

C. pkg add-publisher to add the new publisher
D. pkg set-publisher to set the origin for the publisher
Correct Answer: D
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Solaris 11 Express makes it pretty easy to set up a local copy of the repository.
A common reason folks need access to a local repository is because their system is not connected to the Internet.
Tthe pkg set-publisher command can be used to for example add a publisher or to enable or disable a publisher.
Note: Example Adding a Publisher

Use the -g option to specify the publisher origin URI.
# pkg set-publisher -g http://pkg.example.com/release example.com
Example Specifying the Preferred Publisher

Use the -P option to specify a publisher as the preferred publisher. The specified publisher moves to the top of the search order. You can specify the -P option when
you add a publisher or you can modify an existing publisher.
# pkg set-publisher -P example.com
Example Enabling or Disabling a Publisher
Use the -d option to disable a publisher. The preferred publisher cannot be disabled. A disabled publisher is not used in package operations such as list and install.
You can modify the properties of a disabled publishers.
Use the -e option to enable a publisher.
# pkg set-publisher -d example2.com

B. provides a "hands free" installation
C. installs the desktop based packages
D. can be used to install only x86 platforms
E. installs the server-based set of packages only
F. allows both automatic and manual configuration of the network
G. installs both the server-based and desktop-based package
Correct Answer: BCD

Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
The graphical installer is officially known as the "Live Media." This means that Oracle Solaris can be booted into RAM, causing zero impact on your existing
operating system. After it is loaded, you are free to experiment with Oracle Solaris to determine whether it is something you would like to install to your system.
You can download Oracle Solaris 11 Live Media for x86, which is an approximately 800 MB image file, and use a DVD burner to create the disk, or you can use the
ISO image directly in a virtual machine or through the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) Remote Console.
The Live Media is not intended for long-term use. For example, any changes that you make to the system are lost when the system is shut down. Therefore, the
next logical step is to install Oracle Solaris on the system, which the Live Media makes easy by placing an Install Oracle Solaris icon right on the desktop. But
before we head down that road, let's step back a bit and consider the installation options.
Note: The Live Media provides administrators with an opportunity to explore the Oracle Solaris 11 environment without installing it on a system. The system boots
off the media directly allowing administrators to start the installer should they choose to install it to a system.
QUESTION 50
In a fresh installation of Oracle Solaris 11, default datalinks are named with a genetic naming convention, and they increment as you add interfaces. What is the
default name?
A. eth#
B. net#
C. el000g#
D. lo#
E. nic#
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
When you install this Oracle Solaris release on a system for the first time, Oracle Solaris automatically provides generic link names for all the system's physical
network devices. This name assignment uses the net# naming convention, where the # is the instance number. This instance number increments for each device,
for example, net0, net1, net2, and so on.
Note:
Network configuration in Oracle Solaris 11 includes
* Generic datalink name assignment – Generic names are automatically assigned to datalinks using the net0, net1, netN naming convention, depending on the total
number of network devices that are on the system

A. cat /etc/passwd | grep jack

B. cat /etc/group | grep jack
C. cat /etc/shadow | grep jack
D. cat /etc/default/passwd | grep jack
Correct Answer: A
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
The /etc/passwd contains one entry per line for each user (or user account) of the system. All fields are separated by a colon (:) symbol. Total seven fields as
follows.
1. Username: It is used when user logs in. It should be between 1 and 32 characters in length.
2. Password: An x character indicates that encrypted password is stored in /etc/shadow file.
3. User ID (UID): Each user must be assigned a user ID (UID). UID 0 (zero) is reserved for root and UIDs 1-99 are reserved for other predefined accounts. Further
UID 100-999 are reserved by system for administrative and system accounts/groups.
4. Group ID (GID): The primary group ID (stored in /etc/group file)
5. User ID Info: The comment field. It allow you to add extra information about the users such as user's full name, phone number etc. This field use by finger
command.
6. Home directory: The absolute path to the directory the user will be in when they log in. If this directory does not exists then users directory becomes /
7. Command/shell: The absolute path of a command or shell (/bin/bash). Typically, this is a shell. Please note that it does not have to be a shell.

Edit the /etc/default/login file to change the entry. Make sure that SYSLOG=YES is uncommented.
2. Create a file with the correct permissions to hold the logging information.
Create the authlog file in the /var/adm directory.
3. Edit the syslog.conf file to log failed password attempts.

Send the failures to the authlog file.
QUESTION 56
Which command would you use from the bash shell to determine the total amount of physical memory installed in your Solaris system (x86 and SPARC)?
A. uname –a
B. prtconf | grep –i memory
C. sysdef | grep –i memory
D. vmstat
E. prtdiag | grep –i memory
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
The prtconf command prints the system configuration information. The output includes the total amount of memory, and the configuration of system peripherals
formatted as a device tree.
If a device path is specified on the command line for those command options that can take a device path, prtconf will only display information for that device node.
QUESTION 57
Which two options are characteristics of a fast reboot?
A. A fast reboot bypasses grub.

B. A fast reboot cannot be used after a system panic on the x86 platform.
C. A fast reboot can only be executed on the SPARC platform when the config/fastreboot_default property for the svc:/system/boot-config:default service is set to
true.
D. A fast reboot uses an in-kernel boot loader to load the kernel into memory.
E. A fast reboot is the default on all platforms.
Correct Answer: CD
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
C: To change the default behavior of the Fast Reboot feature on the SPARC platform, so that a fast reboot is automatically performed when the system reboots,
see below.
The following example shows how to set the property's value to true on the SPARC platform, so that a fast reboot is initiated by default:
# svccfg -s "system/boot-config:default" setprop config/fastreboot_default=true

# svcadm refresh svc:/system/boot-config:default
D: Fast Reboot implements an in-kernel boot loader that loads the kernel into memory and then switches to that kernel.
The firmware and boot loader processes are bypassed, which enables the system to reboot within seconds.
The Fast Reboot feature is managed by SMF and implemented through a boot configuration service, svc:/system/boot-config. The boot-config service provides a
means for setting or changing the default boot configuration parameters. When the config/fastreboot_default property is set to true, the system performs a fast
reboot automatically, without the need to use the reboot -f command. This property's value is set to true on the x86 platform. For task-related information, including
how to change the default behavior of Fast Reboot on the SPARC platform, see Accelerating the Reboot Process on an x86 Based System.
Note: One new feature, called Fast Reboot, will allow the system to boot up without doing the routine set of hardware checks, a move that can make system boot
times up to two-and-a-half times faster, Oracle claimed. This feature can be handy in that an administrator applying a patch or software update across thousands of
Solaris deployments can reboot them all the more quickly.

By default, the pkg info command only lists information about installed packages on the system; however, we can use a similar command to look up information
about uninstalled packages, as shown in here:
Example:
Listing Information About an Uninstalled Package
# pkg info -r php-52
Name: web/php-52
Summary: PHP Server 5.2
Description: PHP Server 5.2
Category: Development/PHP
State: Not Installed
Publisher: solaris
Version: 5.2.17
Build Release: 5.11
Branch: 0.175.0.0.0.1.530
Packaging Date: Wed Oct 12 14:01:41 2011
Size: 44.47 MB
FMRI: pkg://solaris/web/php-52@5.2.17, 5.11-0.175.0.0.0.1.530:20111012T140141Z
Note: pkg info command displays information about packages in a human-readable form.
Multiple FMRI patterns may be specified; with no patterns, display information on all installed packages in the image.

QUESTION 62
user1 has a disk quota of 0.5 MB. The user attempts to run the following command on a file called .bigfile that is 495 KB in size:
cp bigfile /tmp
Will the command execute successfully?
A. Yes. Quotas do not include any of the system files such as /tmp /swap.
B. Yes. The quota is set at the directory level, not the user level.
C. No. The command will fail because it will cause him to exceed his user quota.
D. No. A user cannot place files into the /tmp directory.
Correct Answer: A
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
UFS quotas enable system administrators to control the size of file systems. Quotas limit the amount of disk space and the number of inodes, which roughly
corresponds to the number of files, that individual users can acquire. For this reason, quotas are especially useful on the file systems where user home directories
reside. As a rule, the public and /tmp file systems usually do not benefit significantly by establishing quotas.
Note: The cp command copies files and directories.
QUESTION 63
Review the storage pool information:
Choose the correct procedure to repair this storage pool.
A. Shut the system down, replace disk c3t3d0, and boot the system. When the system is booted, execute the zpool clear pool1 command.
B. Shut the system down, replace disk c3t3d0, and boot the system. When the system is booted execute the zpool online pool1 command.
C. Shut the system down, replace disk c3t3d0, and boot the system. When the system is booted, execute the zpool replace pool1 c3t3d0 command.
D. Shut the system down, replace disk c3t3d0, and boot the system. When the system is booted, execute the zpool replace pool1 c3t3d0 c3t3d0 command.
Correct Answer: C
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
You might need to replace a disk in the root pool for the following reasons:
The root pool is too small and you want to replace it with a larger disk
The root pool disk is failing. In a non-redundant pool, if the disk is failing so that the system won't boot, you'll need to boot from an alternate media, such as a CD or
the network, before you replace the root pool disk.
In a mirrored root pool configuration, you might be able to attempt a disk replacement without having to boot from alternate media. You can replace a failed disk by
using the zpool replace command.
Some hardware requires that you offline and unconfigure a disk before attempting the zpool replace operation to replace a failed disk.
For example:
# zpool offline rpool c1t0d0s0
# cfgadm -c unconfigure c1::dsk/c1t0d0
<Physically remove failed disk c1t0d0>
<Physically insert replacement disk c1t0d0>
# cfgadm -c configure c1::dsk/c1t0d0
# zpool replace rpool c1t0d0s0
# zpool online rpool c1t0d0s0
# zpool status rpool
<Let disk resilver before installing the boot blocks>
SPARC# installboot -F zfs /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/zfs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0
x86# installgrub /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c1t9d0s0
QUESTION 64
You are currently working in both your home directory and the system directory /tmp. You are switch back and forth with full path names. Which pair of cd
commands will provide you with a shortcut to switch between these two locations?
A. cd ~ and cd –
B. cd and cd.
C. cd ~ and cd
D. cd * and cd . .
Correct Answer: A
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
In the Bourne Again, C, Korn, TC, and Z shells, the tilde (~) is used as a shortcut for specifying your home directory.
cd –
It's the command-line equivalent of the back button (takes you to the previous directory you were in).
Note:
To make certain that you are in your home directory, type the cd (change directory) command. This command moves you to your home (default) directory.

QUESTION 66
Which two are true about accounts, groups, and roles in the Solaris user database?
A. All Solaris user accounts must have a unique UID number.

B. A Solaris account name may be any alphanumeric string, and can have a maximum length of 8 characters.
C. Account UID numbers 0-09 are system-reserved.
D. The GID for an account determines the default group ownership of new files created by that account.
E. The groups that an account is a member of are determined by the entries in the /etc/group file.
Correct Answer: AB
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
A: Solaris uses a UID (User ID) to identify each user account. The UID is a unique number assigned to each user. It is usually assigned by the operating system
when the account is created.
B: In Solaris the account name can include any alphanumeric string (and . _ -). The maximum length is 8 characters.
QUESTION 67
Consider the following commands:
What is displayed when this sequence of commands is executed using the bash shell?
A. Hello, world
B. cat: cannot open file1
C. cat: cannot open file1Hello, world
D. cat: cannot open file1 Hello, World
E. bash: syntax error near unexpected token '&&'
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
First line (rm file1) deletes/removes file1.
Second line captures the text into file2.
The first part of line 3 (cat file1) fails as the file1 does not exist.
The && (AND) operator will ensure that the third line fails. The result of line 3 will be the result of first part of line 3 (cat file1).
Note: cat - concatenate files and print on the standard output
Note #1: A list is a sequence of one or more pipelines separated by one of the operators ‘;’, ‘&’, ‘&&’, or ‘||’, and optionally terminated by one of ‘;’, ‘&’, or a newline.
Of these list operators, ‘&&’ and ‘||’ have equal precedence, followed by ‘;’ and ‘&’, which have equal precedence.
AND and OR lists are sequences of one or more pipelines separated by the control operators ‘&&’ and ‘||’, respectively. AND and OR lists are executed with left
associativity.
An AND list has the form
command1 && command2

command2 is executed if, and only if, command1 returns an exit status of zero.
An OR list has the form
command1 || command2
command2 is executed if, and only if, command1 returns a non-zero exit status.
The return status of AND and OR lists is the exit status of the last command executed in the list.
Note #2 (on exit status): Zero means command executed successfully, if exit status returns non-zero value then your command failed to execute.

QUESTION 69
Subnets are created by using________.
A. subnet
B. netmask
C. unicast
D. broadcast
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
The process of subnetting involves the separation of the network and subnet portion of an address from the host identifier. This is performed by a bitwise AND
operation between the IP address and the (sub)network prefix. The result yields the network address or prefix, and the remainder is the host identifier.
The routing prefix of an address is written in a form identical to that of the address itself. This is called the network mask, or netmask, of the address. For example,
a specification of the most-significant 18 bits of an IPv4 address, 11111111.11111111.11000000.00000000, is written as 255.255.192.0.

whoami;who am i;id
Which option correctly represents the output?
A. Option A
B. Option B
C. Option C
D. Option D
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)

Explanation:
* The whoami utility displays your effective user ID as a name.
Here this would be root.
* who am i
The command who shows who is logged on.
Here this would be:
user1 console Dec 30 20:20
* The id utility displays the user and group names and numeric IDs, of the calling process, to the standard output. If the real and effective IDs are different, both are
displayed, otherwise only the real ID is displayed.
Here this would be:
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
Note:
Each UNIX proces has 3 UIDs associated to it. Superuser privilege is UID=0.
Real UID
--------
This is the UID of the user/process that created THIS process. It can be changed only if the running process has EUID=0.
Effective UID
-------------
This UID is used to evaluate privileges of the process to perform a particular action. EUID can be change either to RUID, or SUID if EUID!=0. If EUID=0, it can be
changed to anything.
Saved UID
---------
If the binary image file, that was launched has a Set-UID bit on, SUID will be the UID of the owner of the file. Otherwise, SUID will be the RUID.

You have a ZFS file system named /dbase/oral and you want to guarantee that 10 GB of storage space is available to that dataset for all data, snapshots, and
clones.
Which option would you choose?
A. zfs set refreservation=10g dbase/oral

B. zfs set quota=10g dbase/oral
C. zfs set refquota=10g dbase/oral
D. zfs set reservation=10g dbase/oral
Correct Answer: D
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
A ZFS reservation is an allocation of disk space from the pool that is guaranteed to be available to a dataset. As such, you cannot reserve disk space for a dataset
if that space is not currently available in the pool. The total amount of all outstanding, unconsumed reservations cannot exceed the amount of unused disk space in
the pool. ZFS reservations can be set and displayed by using the zfs set and zfs get commands. For example:

QUESTION 77
User jack logs in to host solaris and then attempts to log in to host oracle using ssh. He receives the following error message:
The authenticity of host oracle (192.168.1.22) can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is 3B:23:a5:6d:ad:a5:76:83:9c:c3:c4:55:a5:18:98:a6
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
Which two are true?
A. The public host key supplied by solaria is not known to the host oracle.
B. The error would not occur if the RSA key fingerprint shown in the error message was added to the /etc/ssh/known_hosts file on solaris.
C. The private host key supplied by oracle is not known to solaris.
D. If jack answers yes, the RSA public key for the host oracle will be added to the known_hosts file for the user jack.
E. The public host key supplied by oracle is not known to the host solaris.
Correct Answer: BD
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
The fingerprints are used to guard against man in the middle attacks. Since ssh logins usually work over the internet (an insecure connection), someone could
hijack your connection. When you try to log into yourmachine.com, he could get "in the middle" and return your challenge as if he was yourmachine.com. That way,
he could get hold of your login password.
To make this attack harder, ssh stores the fingerprint of the server's public key on the first connection attempt. You will see a prompt like:
The authenticity of host 'eisen (137.43.366.64)' can't be established.

RSA key fingerprint is cf:55:30:31:7f:f0:c4:a0:9a:02:1d:1c:41:cf:63:cf.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)
When you enter yes, ssh will add the fingerprint to your known_hosts file. you will see
Code:
Warning: Permanently added 'eisen, 137.43.366.64' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
The next time you login, ssh will check whether the host key has changed. A changing host key usually indicates a man in the middle attack, and ssh refuses to
connect.

Which two commands will be successful?
A. cp dir1 dir1
B. cp dir1 file1
C. cp file? dir1
D. cp file. dir1
E. cp file% dir2
F. cp file1 file2 dir1
Correct Answer: CF
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
C: Here the wildcard character ? is used (Matches any single character).
file1 and file2 will be copied into dir1
F: the two files file1 and file2 are copied into directoy dir1.
Note: cp - copy files and directories
Copy SOURCE to DEST, or multiple SOURCE(s) to DIRECTORY.
Cp has three principal modes of operation. These modes are inferred from the type and count of arguments presented to the program upon invocation.
* When the program has two arguments of path names to files, the program copies the contents of the first file to the second file, creating the second file if
necessary.
* When the program has one or more arguments of path names of files and following those an argument of a path to a directory, then the program copies each
source file to the destination directory, creating any files not already existing.
* When the program's arguments are the path names to two directories, cp copies all files in the source directory to the destination directory, creating any files or
directories needed. This mode of operation requires an additional option flag, typically r, to indicate the recursive copying of directories. If the destination directory
already exists, the source is copied into the destination, while a new directory is created if the destination does not exist.

Select two correct statements about the authentication services available in Oracle Solaris 11.
A. Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) is used to control the operation of services such console logins and ftp.
B. The Secure Shell can be configured to allow logins across a network to remote servers without transmitting passwords across the network.
C. Secure Remote Procedure Calls (Secure RPC) provides a mechanism to encrypt data on any IP Socket connection.
D. Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) is used to implement the Secure Shell in Oracle Solaris 11.
E. Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) provides a mechanism to authenticate and encrypt access to local file system data.
Correct Answer: AE
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
A: Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) are an integral part of the authentication mechanism for the Solaris. PAM provides system administrators with the
ability and flexibility to choose any authentication service available on a system to perform end-user authentication.
By using PAM, applications can perform authentication regardless of what authentication method is defined by the system administrator for the given client.
PAM enables system administrators to deploy the appropriate authentication mechanism for each service throughout the network. System administrators can also
select one or multiple authentication technologies without modifying applications or utilities. PAM insulates application developers from evolutionary improvements
to authentication technologies, while at the same time allowing deployed applications to use those improvements.
PAM employs run-time pluggable modules to provide authentication for system entry services.
E: The Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) is a method for adding authentication support to connection-based protocols.
Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) is a framework for authentication and data security in Internet protocols. It decouples authentication mechanisms
from application protocols, in theory allowing any authentication mechanism supported by SASL to be used in any application protocol that uses SASL.
Authentication mechanisms can also support proxy authorization, a facility allowing one user to assume the identity of another. They can also provide a data
security layer offering data integrity and data confidentiality services. DIGEST-MD5 provides an example of mechanisms which can provide a data-security layer.
Application protocols that support SASL typically also support Transport Layer Security (TLS) to complement the services offered by SASL.

QUESTION 85
Which three of the components could be used in a ZFS storage pool, but are not recommended configurations?
A. A file on a UFS file system

B. A Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) volume
C. A LUN In a hardware RAID array
D. A disk slice from an SMI labeled disk
E. A Solaris Volume Manager (SVM) volume
F. An EFI labeled disk
Correct Answer: ABE

Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
A: ZFS also allows you to use UFS files as virtual devices in your storage pool. This feature is aimed primarily at testing and enabling simple experimentation, not
for production use. The reason is that any use of files relies on the underlying file system for consistency. If you create a ZFS pool backed by files on a UFS file
system, then you are implicitly relying on UFS to guarantee correctness and synchronous semantics.
However, files can be quite useful when you are first trying out ZFS or experimenting with more complicated layouts when not enough physical devices are present.
All files must be specified as complete paths and must be at least 64 Mbytes in size.
B, E: You can construct logical devices for ZFS using volumes presented by software-based volume managers, such as Solaris Volume Manager (SVM) or Veritas
Volume Manager (VxVM). However, these configurations are not recommended. While ZFS functions properly on such devices, less-than-optimal performance
might be the result.

Which option displays the result of running the zfs list command?
A. Option A
B. Option B
C. Option C
D. Option D
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
The zfs list command provides an extensible mechanism for viewing and querying dataset information.
You can list basic dataset information by using the zfs list command with no options. This command displays the names of all datasets on the system and the
values of their used, available, referenced, and mountpoint properties. For more information about these properties, see Introducing ZFS Properties.
For example:
# zfs list

QUESTION 91
Which network protocol provides connectionless, packet-oriented communication between applications?
A. TCP
B. UDP
C. IP
D. ICMP
E. NFS
F. IPSec
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is one of the core members of the Internet Protocol Suite, the set of network protocols used for the Internet. With UDP,
computer applications can send messages, in this case referred to as datagrams, to other hosts on an Internet Protocol (IP) network without requiring prior
communications to set up special transmission channels or data paths.
Compared to TCP, UDP is a simpler message-based connectionless protocol.
QUESTION 92
A datalink can best be described as______.
A. a driver for a Network Interface Card

B. the software connecting the Internet Layer and the Physical Layer
C. a device that provides Classless Inter-Domain Routing
D. a logical object used for IP Multipathing
Correct Answer: D
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
The command dladm is used to configure data-link interfaces in Sun Solaris. A configured data-link is represented in the system as interface that can be used for
TCP/IP. Each data-link relies on either a single network device or an link aggregation device to send & recieve packets.
Network interfaces provide the connection between the system and the network. These interfaces are configured over data links, which in turn correspond to
instances of hardware devices in the system.
In the current model of the network stack, interfaces and links on the software layer build on the devices in the hardware layer. More specifically, a hardware device
instance in the hardware layer has a corresponding link on the data-link layer and a configured interface on the interface layer. This one-to-one relationship among
the network device, its data link, and the IP interface is illustrated in the figure that follows.

QUESTION 94
A user account must be a member of a primary group, and may also be a member of one or more secondary groups. What is the maximum total number of groups
that one user can concurrently belong to?
A. 15
B. 16
C. 17
D. 63
E. 64
F. 65
G. The number of groups one user can concurrently belong to is unlimited in Solaris 11.
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Each user belongs to a group that is referred to as the user’s primary group. The GID number, located in the user’s account entry within the /etc/passwd file,
specifies the user’s primary group.
Each user can also belong to up to 15 additional groups, known as secondary groups. In the /etc/group file, you can add users to group entries, thus establishing
the user’s secondary group affiliations.
Note (4 PSARC/2009/542):
his project proposes changing the maximum value for NGROUPS_MAX from 32 to 1024 by changing the definition of NGROUPS_UMAX from 32 to 1024.
The use for a larger number of groups is described in CR 4088757, particular in the case of Samba servers and ADS clients; the Samba servers map every SID to
a Unix group. Users with more than 32 groups SIDs are common. We've seen reports varying from
"64 is enough", "128 is absolutely enough" and "we've users with more 190 group SIDS).
NGROUPS_MAX as defined by different Unix versions are as follows (http://www.j3e.de/ngroups.html):

QUESTION 98
Oracle Solaris 11 kernel encounters a fatal error, and it results in a system panic.
What type of file does this generate?
A. a.out
B. objdump
C. core dump
D. tape dump
E. crash dump
Correct Answer: C
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
A kernel panic is a type of error that occurs when the core (kernel) of an operating system receives an instruction in an unexpected format or when it fails to handle
properly. A kernel panic can also follow when the operating system can’t recover from a different type of error. A kernel panic can be caused by damaged or
incompatible software or, more rarely, damaged or incompatible hardware.
When a server kernel panics it abruptly halts all normal system operations. Usually, a kernel process named panic() outputs an error message to the console and
stores debugging information in nonvolitile memory to be written to a crash log file upon restarting the computer. Saving the memory contents of the core and
associated debugging information is called a “core dump.”

QUESTION 100
You are the administrator for a group of shell script developers. They use vi, and have asked you to make their scripts automatically executable when they save
their files.
How can this be accomplished?
A. Enter set –o vi on the command line, or include it in each user's startup script.
B. Enter umask –s on the command line, or include it in each user's startup script.
C. Enter umask 000 on the command line, or include it in each user's startup script.
D. Enter umask 777 on the command line, or include it in each user's startup script.
E. It is not possible to automatically set the execute bit on with the umask setting, or vi option.
F. Enter umask 766 the command line, or include it in the global startup script for the default shell.
Correct Answer: E
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Unlike DOS, which uses the file extension to determine if a file is executable or not, UNIX relies on file permissions.
The value assigned by umask is subtracted from the default.
User's file creation mask. umask sets an environment variable which automatically sets file permissions on newly created files. i.e. it will set the shell process's file
creation mask to mode.
umask 000 would grant full permissions.
Note: 777 full permissions

QUESTION 102
The server has two spate 140-GB disk drives: c3t5d0 c3t6d0
Which command would add redundancy to the pool1 storage pool?
A. zpool attach pool1 c3t5d0 c3t6d0

B. zpool attach pool1 c3t3d0 c3c5d0; zpoo1 attach pool1 c3t4d0 c3t6d0
C. zpool mirror pool1 c3t5d0 c3t6d0
D. zpool add pool1 mirror c3t5d0 c3t6d0
E. zpool add raidz pool1 c3t5d0 c3t6d0
Correct Answer: A
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
You can convert a non-redundant storage pool into a redundant storage pool by using the zpool attach command.
Note: zpool attach [-f] pool device new_device
Attaches new_device to an existing zpool device. The existing device cannot be part of a raidz configuration. If device is not currently part of a mirrored
configuration, device automatically transforms into a two-way mirror of device and new_device. If device is part of a two-way mirror, attaching new_device creates a
three-way mirror, and so on. In either case, new_device begins to resilver immediately.
QUESTION 103
A user on the system has started a process, but it needs to be terminated.
The process ID was determined as follows:
pgrep userprogram
l5317
The user attempted to terminate the program as follows:

pkill 15317
This command runs without an error message, and the process continues to run.
What is the issue?
A. You need to run the pkill command with the process name.
B. You need to switch to super user to kill the process.
C. You need to run the ps command to get more information.
D. You need to run the prstat command to get more information.
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
You can use the pgrep and pkill commands to identify and stop command processes that you no longer want to run. These commands are useful when you
mistakenly start a process that takes a long time to run.
To terminate a process:
Type pgrep to find out the PID(s) for the process(es).
Type pkill followed by the PID(s).
You can kill any process that you own. Superuser can kill any process in the system except for those processes with process IDs of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. Killing these
processes most likely will crash the system.
QUESTION 104
You are logged in to a Solaris 11 system as user jack. You issue the following sequence of commands:
Identify two correct statements.
A. You have the effective privilege of the account root.

B. Your GID is 10.
C. Your home directory is /root.
D. You are running the shell specified for the account root.
E. Your UID is 1.
Correct Answer: AB
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Oracle Solaris provides predefined rights profiles. These profiles, listed in the /etc/security/prof_attr, can be assigned by the root role to any account. The root role is
assigned all privileges and all authorizations, so can perform all tasks, just as root can when root is a user.
To perform administrative functions, you open a terminal and switch the user to root. In that terminal, you can then perform all administrative functions.
$ su - root
Password: Type root password
#
When you exit the shell, root capabilities are no longer in effect.
QUESTION 105
Which two are user definable OpenBoot parameters that can be set in the OpenBoot PROM?
A. IP address for the system console
B. Host ID
C. System date and time
D. Default boot device
E. Verbose hardware diagnostics
F. Powering off the hardware
Correct Answer: DE
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
The NVRAM chip stores user-definable system parameters, also referred to as NVRAM variables or EEPROM parameters. The parameters allow administrators to
control variables such as the default boot device and boot command. The NVRAM also contains writeable areas for user-controlled diagnostics, macros, and device
aliases. NVRAM is where the system identification information is stored, such as the host ID, Ethernet address, and time-of-day (TOD) clock.
Examples of NVRAM variables:

Variable Default Description boot-device disk or net
The device from which to start up.
diag-device net The diagnostic startup source device.
diag-file Empty string Arguments passed to the startup program in diagnostic mode.
diag-switch? false Whether to run in diagnostic mode
QUESTION 106
Which two capabilities are provided by the OpenBoot PROM?
A. a command to safely shut down the system

B. hardware testing and initialization
C. booting from a disk or network
D. starting the GRUB loader
Correct Answer: BC
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
OpenBoot firmware is executed immediately after you turn on your system. The primary tasks of OpenBoot firmware are to:
* Test and initialize the system hardware (B)
* Determine the hardware configuration
*Boot the operating system from either a mass storage device or from a network (C)
*Provide interactive debugging facilities for testing hardware and software
QUESTION 107
On which is the open boot prom available?
A. x86 only
B. x86 64-Bit only
C. SPARC only
D. both x86 and x86 64-Bit
E. x86, x86 64-Bit and SPARC
Correct Answer: C
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
No OpenBoot Environment on the Intel Platform. The Intel environment has no OpenBoot PROM or NVRAM. On Intel systems, before the kernel is started, the
system is controlled by the basic input/output system (BIOS), the firmware interface on a PC. Therefore, many features provided by OpenBoot are not available on
Intel systems.
Note: The Open Boot PROM (OBP) bootloader only exists within SPARC. Before Solaris 10 01/06, the bootloader for Solaris x86 was a Sun customized bootstrap
software. After Solaris 10 01/06, it uses GRUB, a well known bootloader that's commonly used in the Linux world.
With GRUB, it's much easier to make the system dual-boot Linux and Solaris. GRUB extends the capabilities of the bootloader that was not available previously
such as the ability to boot from a USB DVD drive. Those who have used Linux will be quite familiar with GRUB and its options.
QUESTION 108
Review the storage pool information:
Which statement describes the status of this storage pool?
A. It is a RAIDZ storage pool and can withstand a single disk failure; data will be striped at: disk components.
B. It is a double-parity RAIDZ storage pool and can withstand two disk failures; data will be striped across four disk components.
C. It is an improperly configured RAIDZ storage pool; data will be striped across four disk components, but only three drives are protected with redundancy.
D. It is an improperly configured RAIDZ storage pool; data will be striped across three disk components, but only three drives are protected with redundancy.
Correct Answer: D
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Device c3t6d0 is not included in the RAIDZ storage pool. The other three devices are included in the raidz pool. The data on these devices are protected.
Note: In addition to a mirrored storage pool configuration, ZFS provides a RAID-Z configuration with either single, double, or triple parity fault tolerance. Single-parity
RAID-Z (raidz or raidz1) is similar to RAID-5. Double-parity RAID-Z (raidz2) is similar to RAID-6.
QUESTION 109
Which two statements describe the COMSTAR framework available in Oracle Solaris 11?
A. It converts an Oracle Solaris 11 host into a SCSI target device that can be accessed over a storage network by Linux, Mac OS, or Windows client systems.
B. iSCSI targets cannot be configured as dump devices.
C. It provides support for iSCSI devices that use SLP.
D. It is used to connect to Fibre Channel or iSCSI Storage Area Network (SAN) environments.
E. It provides an upgrade and update path to convert your iSCSI LUNs from Solaris 10 systems.
Correct Answer: AB
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
A: You can configure Common Multiprotocol SCSI TARget, or COMSTAR, a software framework that enables you to convert any Oracle Solaris 11 host into a SCSI
target device that can be accessed over a storage network by initiator hosts.
This means you can make storage devices on a system available to Linux, Mac OS, or Windows client systems as if they were local storage devices. Supported
storage protocols are iSCSI, FC, iSER, and SRP.
B: iSCSI targets cannot be configured as dump devices.

You are troubleshooting interface net3 and you enter the following sequence of commands:
Your next command should be:
A. ipadm up-addr net3/v4

B. ipadm enable-if -T net3
C. <ipadm create-vnic -a 192.168.1.25/24 net3/v4
D. ipadm create-ip -T static -a 192.168.1.25/24 -n net3
E. ipadm create-addr -T static -a 192.168.1.25/24 net3
Correct Answer: E
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
If you are assigning a static IP address, use the following syntax:
# ipadm create-addr -T static -a address addrobj

where addrobj uses the naming format interface/user-defined-string, such as e1000g0/v4globalz.
Note:
create-addr [-t] -T static [-d] -a {local | remote}=addr[/prefixlen], ... addrobj
Creates a static IPv4 or IPv6 address on the interface specified in addrobj. If the interface on which the address is created is not plumbed, this subcommand will
implicitly plumb the interface. The created static address will be identified by addrobj.
By default, a configured address will be marked up, so that it can be used as a source or destination of or for outbound and inbound packets.
QUESTION 112
The storage pool configuration on your server is:
You back up the /pool1/data file system, creating a snapshot and copying that snapshot to tape (/dev/rmt/0). You perform a full backup on Sunday night and
Incremental backups on Monday through Saturday night at 11:00 pm. Each incremental backup will copy only the data that has been modified since the Sunday
backup was started.
On Thursday, at 10:00 am, you had a disk failure. You replaced the disk drive (c4t0d0). You created pool (pool1) on that disk.
Which option would you select to restore the data in the /pool1/data file system?
A. zfs create pool1/dataLoad the Monday tape and enter:zfs recv pool1/data < /dev/rmt/0Load the Wednesday tape and enter:zfs recv –F pool1/data < /dev/rmt/0
B. Load the Sunday tape and restore the Sunday snapshot:zfs recv pooll/data < /dev/rmt/0zfs rollback pool1/data@monLoad the Wednesday tape and restore the
Wednesday snapshot:zfs recv –i pooll/data < /dev/rmt/0zfs rollback pool1/data@wed
C. zfs create pooll/dataLoad the Wednesday tape and enter:zfs recv -F pool1/data < /dev/rmt/0
D. Load the Sunday tape and enter:zfs recv pool1/data < /dev/rmt/0Load the Wednesday tape and enter:* commands missing*
Correct Answer: D
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
First the full backup must be restored. This would be the Sunday backup.
Then the last incremental backup must be restored. This would be the Wednesday backup.
Before restoring the Wednesday incremental file system snapshot, the most recent snapshot must first be rolled back.
By exclusion D) would be best answer even though it is incomplete.

Which two are implemented using the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)?
A. ping
B. DHCP
C. HTTP
D. telnet
E. syslog
F. traceroute
Correct Answer: AF
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is one of the core protocols of the Internet Protocol Suite.
ICMP differs from transport protocols such as TCP and UDP in that it is not typically used to exchange data between systems, nor is it regularly employed by end-
user network applications (with the exception of some diagnostic tools like ping and traceroute).

Select the packet type that identifies members of the group and sends information to all the network interfaces in that group.
A. Unicast
B. Multicast
C. Broadcast
D. Bayesian
E. Quality of Service Priority
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
IPv6 defines three address types:
unicast
Identifies an interface of an individual node.
multicast
Identifies a group of interfaces, usually on different nodes. Packets that are sent to the multicast address go to all members of the multicast group.
anycast
Identifies a group of interfaces, usually on different nodes. Packets that are sent to the anycast address go to the anycast group member node that is physically
closest to the sender.

F. zfs snapshot pool1/data@nowzfs clone -o mountpoint=/data2 pool1/data@now pool1/data2
Correct Answer: E
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
zfs snapshot [-r] [-o property=value] ... filesystem@snapname|volume@snapname
Creates a snapshot with the given name. All previous modifications by successful system calls to the file system are part of the snapshot
zfs clone [-p] [-o property=value] ... snapshot filesystem|volume
Creates a clone of the given snapshot.
Note:
Because snapshots are fast and low overhead, they can be used extensively without great concern for system performance or disk use .
With ZFS you can not only create snapshot but create a clone of a snapshot.
A clone is a writable volume or file system whose initial contents are the same as the dataset from which it was created. As with snapshots, creating a clone is
nearly instantaneous, and initially consumes no additional disk space. In addition, you can snapshot a clone.
A clone is a writable volume or file system whose initial contents are the same as the original dataset. As with snapshots, creating a clone is nearly instantaneous,
and initially consumes no additional space.
Clones can only be created from a snapshot. When a snapshot is cloned, it creates an implicit dependency between the parent and child.
QUESTION 120
You wish to troubleshoot some issues that you are having on the system. You want to monitor the /var/adm/messages file in real time. Which command would you
use to do this?
A. head
B. tail
C. cat
D. file
E. test
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
tail is a program on Unix and Unix-like systems used to display the last few lines of a text file or piped data.
By default, tail will print the last 10 lines of its input to the standard output. With command line options the number of lines printed and the printing units (lines,
blocks or bytes) may be changed. The following example shows the last 20 lines of filename:
tail -n 20 filename
QUESTION 121
Which two options describe how to override the default boot behavior of an Oracle Solaris 11 SPARC system to boot the system to the single-user milestone?
A. from the ok prompt, issue this command:

boot -m milestone=single-user
B. From the ok prompt, issue this command:
boot -m milestone/single-user
C. From the ok prompt, issue this command:
boot -milestone=single-user
D. From the ok prompt. issue this command:
boot -s
E. From from the ok prompt, issue this command:
boot -m milestone=s
Correct Answer: AD
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
By default, Solaris will boot to the pseudo milestone “all” and start all services. This behaviour can be changed at boot time using either “-s” to reach single-user, or
the new SMF option “-m milestone=XXX” (see kernel(1M) for a list of the bootable milestones) to select an explicit milestone.
Note: boot -s is the same as: boot -m milestone=single-user
with the difference being that the former is a lot less to type and is what most SysAdmins will be familiar with.
QUESTION 122
In a default standalone installation of Oracle Solaris 11, what is the default minimum length in characters of a user password, and where is the minimum password
length defined?
A. Default minimum length is 8, and is defined in /etc/default/password.

B. Default minimum length is 6, and is defined in /etc/default/password.
C. Default minimum length is 8, and is defined in /etc/shadow.
D. Default minimum length is 6, and is defined in /etc/shadow.
E. Default minimum length is 8, and is defined in /usr/sadm/defadduser.
F. Default minimum length is 6, and is defined in /usr/sadm/defadduser.
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
By default, the passwd command assumes a minimum length of six characters. You can use the PASSLENGTH default in the /etc/defaults/passwd files to change
that by setting the minimum number of characters that a user's password must contain to some other number.
QUESTION 123
Which four can the SMF notification framework be configured to monitor and report?
A. all service transition states

B. service dependencies that have stopped or faulted
C. service configuration modifications
D. legacy services that have not started
E. services that have been disabled
F. service fault management events
G. processes that have been killed
Correct Answer: AEFG

Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Note 1: State Transition Sets are defined as:
to<state>
Set of all transitions that have <state> as the final state of the transition.
form-<state>
Set of all transitions that have <state> as the initial state of the transition.
<state>
Set of all transitions that have <state> as the initial state of the transitional.
Set of all transitions. (A)
Valid values of state are maintenance, offline (G), disabled (E), online and degraded. An example of a transitions set definition: maintenance, from-online, to-
degraded.
F: In this context, events is a comma separated list of SMF state transition sets or a comma separated list of FMA (Fault Management Architecture) event classes.
events cannot have a mix of SMF state transition sets and FMA event classes. For convenience, the tags problem- {diagnosed, updated, repaired, resolved}
describe the lifecycle of a problem diagnosed by the FMA subsystem - from initial diagnosis to interim updates and finally problem closure.
Note 2:
SMF allows notification by using SNMP or SMTP of state transitions. It publishes Information Events for state transitions which are consumed by notification
daemons like snmp-notify(1M) and smtp-notify(1M). SMF state transitions of disabled services do not generate notifications unless the final state for the transition is
disabled and there exist notification parameters for that transition. Notification is not be generated for transitions that have the same initial and final state.
QUESTION 124
You have been asked to do an orderly shutdown on a process with a PID of 1234, with the kill command.
Which command is best?
A. kill -2 1234
B. kill -15 1234
C. kill -9 1234
D. kill -1 1234
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
On POSIX-compliant platforms, SIGTERM is the signal sent to a process to request its termination. The symbolic constant for SIGTERM is defined in the header
file signal.h. Symbolic signal names are used because signal numbers can vary across platforms, however on the vast majority of systems, SIGTERM is signal #15.
SIGTERM is the default signal sent to a process by the kill or killall commands. It causes the termination of a process, but unlike the SIGKILL signal, it can be
caught and interpreted (or ignored) by the process. Therefore, SIGTERM is akin to asking a process to terminate nicely, allowing cleanup and closure of files. For
this reason, on many Unix systems during shutdown, init issues SIGTERM to all processes that are not essential to powering off, waits a few seconds, and then
issues SIGKILL to forcibly terminate any such processes that remain.
QUESTION 125
user1, while in his home directory, is attempting to run the following command in his home directory: cp bigfile verybig
The system displays the following error:

cp: cannot create verybig: Disc quota exceeded

B. zfs userused@user1
C. zfs quota=none /rpool/export/home/user1
D. df -h | grep user1
E. zfs set quota=none /rpool/export/home/user1
Correct Answer: E
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
ZFS quotas can be set and displayed by using the zfs set and zfs get commands.
We can remove the quota restriction by setting to quota to none.

A. pkg search gzip

B. pkg info gzip
C. pkg contents gzip
D. pkginfo gzip
E. yum list gzip
Correct Answer: A
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Use the pkg search command to search for packages whose data matches the specified pattern.
Like the pkg contents command, the pkg search command examines the contents of packages. While the pkg contents command returns the contents, the pkg
search command returns the names of packages that match the query.

QUESTION 128
Which two accurately describe the Solaris IPS repository?
A. It contains a collection of operating system patches.

B. It contains a collection of software packages.
C. All packages within an IPS package repository reside in a catalog.
D. It is an ISO image of the Solaris installation media.
E. The packages in a catalog are associated with a specific publisher.
Correct Answer: BE
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Image Packaging System (IPS) is a new network based package management system included in Oracle Solaris 11. It provides a framework for complete software
lifecycle management such as installation, upgrade and removal of software packages. IPS also enables you to create your own software packages, create and
manage package repositories, and mirror existing package repositories.
Oracle Solaris software is distributed in IPS packages. IPS packages are stored in IPS package repositories, which are populated by IPS publishers.
E: The following command displays property information about the local repository.
$ pkgrepo get -s /export/repoSolaris11

SECTION PROPERTY VALUE publisher prefix solaris repository description This\ repository\ serves\ a\ copy\ of\ the\ Oracle\ Solaris\ 11\ Build\ 175b\ Package\
Repository.
repository name Oracle\ Solaris\ 11\ Build\ 175b\ Package\ Repository
repository version 4
The value of the publisher prefix specifies that solaris is to be used in the following cases:
When more than one publisher's packages are present and no publisher is specified in the package name in the pkg command
When packages are published to the repository and no publisher is specified.

You have a process called bigscript, and you need to know the PID number for this process.
Which command will provide that information?
A. pkill bigscript
B. ps bigscript
C. pgrep bigscript
D. prstat bigscript
Correct Answer: C
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Pgrep takes a process name and return a PID.
Note: pgrep looks through the currently running processes and lists the process IDs which matches the selection criteria to stdout. All the criteria have to match. For
example, pgrep -u root sshd will only list the processes called sshd AND owned by root.
Incorrec answers:
ps bigscript: You can’t pass a name to ps, it interprets it as arguments.

QUESTION 136
User jack logs in to host solar in and issues the following command:
jack@solaris:-$ ls .ssh
id_dsa id_dsa.pub id_rsa id_rsa.pub known_hosts authorized_keys
Which two are true?
A. The id_rsa file contains the private key for rhosts-based host authentication.
B. The id_dsa.pub file contains the Digital Signature Algorithm public key for the user jack.
C. The id_rsa.pub file contains the Rivest Shamir Adelman public key for the host solaris.
D. The authorized_keys file contains the private keys of remote users authorized to access jack’s account on solaris.
E. The known_hosts file contains the verified public keys of remote hosts known to be trusted.
Correct Answer: AE
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
A: You will see two files starting with id_rsa. id_rsa is the private key and id_rsa.pub is public key.
E: The .ssh/known_hosts file
In order to use public-key secure connection with other hosts (ssh, scp, sftp) there is a special directory, ~/.ssh/, where passphrases and public keys are stored.
Normally you wouldn't need to know the gory details, but from time to time a host will change its public key and then you have difficulty using ssh or scp with that
host, and have to edit a file named known_hosts.
If you try to ssh to another computer, but get an error message that warns about a changed or incorrect public key, then it is probably just a case of that host
changing its public key. (It is possible, though usually not the case, that malicious hacking is involved.) Unless you actually suspect hacker involvement, you can edit
the file ~/.ssh/known_hosts using your usual text editor (vi, emacs, nedit, or pico) and delete any line with the name of that host.
Then when you try to ssh that host again, it will be like the first time ever; ssh will ask you if you want to accept a new public key, you type the whole word yes, and
everything will proceed normally from there.
Here is what a typical ~/.ssh/known_hosts file might contain. Note that newton is represented on two different lines:

QUESTION 137
You have completed configuring a zone named dbzone on your Solaris 11 server. The configuration is as following:
The global zone displays the following network information:
The zone has never been booted. Which three options correctly describe this zone?
A. It is a sparse root zone.

B. It is a whole root zone.
C. It is an immutable zone.
D. It is a native zone.
E. The zone shares the network interface with the host.
F. The zone uses a virtual network interface.
G. The hostid is the same as the global zone.
H. The IP address of the zone is 10.0.2.18.
Correct Answer: CEG

Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
C: Immutable Zones provide read-only file system profiles for solaris non-global zones.
Note that ip-type: exclusive:

Starting with OpenSolaris build 37 and Oracle Solaris 10 8/07, a default zone can be configured as an "exclusive-IP zone" which gives it exclusive access to the NIC
(s) that the zone has been assigned. Applications in such a zone can communicate directly with the NIC(s) available to the zone.
Note on zones:
After installing Oracle Solaris on a system, but before creating any zones, all processes run in the global zone. After you create a zone, it has processes that are
associated with that zone and no other zone. Any process created by a process in a non-global zone is also associated with that non-global zone.
Any zone which is not the global zone is called a non-global zone. Most people call non-global zones simply "zones." Some people call them "local zones" but this is
discouraged.
The default native zone file system model on Oracle Solaris 10 is called "sparse-root." This model emphasizes efficiency and security at the cost of some
configuration flexibility. Sparse-root zones optimize physical memory and disk space usage by sharing some directories, like /usr and /lib. Sparse-root zones have
their own private file areas for directories like /etc and /var. Whole-root zones increase configuration flexibility but increase resource usage. They do not use shared
file systems for /usr, /lib, and a few others.
There is no supported way to convert an existing sparse-root zone to a whole-root zone. Creating a new zone is required.
QUESTION 138
You have been asked to terminate a process that appears to be hung and will not terminate. The process table is shown below:
root 15163 15156 0 12:51:15 pts/3 0:00 hungscript
What command will terminate the process?
A. kill -9 15163
B. kill -1 15163
C. kill -15 15163
D. kill -2 15163
Correct Answer: A
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Here we should use SIGTERM to terminate the process.
Note:
When no signal is included in the kill command-line syntax, the default signal that is used is –15 (SIGKILL). Using the –9 signal (SIGTERM) with the kill command
ensures that the process terminates promptly. However, the –9 signal should not be used to kill certain processes, such as a database process, or an LDAP server
process. The result is that data might be lost.
Tip - When using the kill command to stop a process, first try using the command by itself, without including a signal option. Wait a few minutes to see if the
process terminates before using the kill command with the -9 signal.
QUESTION 139

F. the current number of instances of the /usr/bin/sleep process
Correct Answer: C
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
If a command is terminated by the control operator ‘&’, the shell executes the command asynchronously in a subshell. This is known as executing the command in
the background. The shell does not wait for the command to finish, and the return status is 0 (true).

The /etc/hosts file can be best described as______.
A. a local database of host names for rlogin, rsh, and rep

B. the configuration file for the host name of the system
C. a local database of information for the uname command
D. the configuration file for the Domain Name Service (DNS)
E. a local database of host names and their associated IP addresses
Correct Answer: E
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
As your machine gets started, it will need to know the mapping of some hostnames to IP addresses before DNS can be referenced. This mapping is kept in the /etc/
hosts file. In the absence of a name server, any network program on your system consults this file to determine the IP address that corresponds to a host name.

Explanation
Explanation:
The /var/adm/messages is the file to which all the messages printed on the console are logged to by the Operating System. This helps to track back check the
console messages to troubleshoot any issues on the system.
Syslog daemon also writes to this /var/adm/messages file.
The /var/adm/messages file monitored and managed by newsyslog and its configuration file is /usr/lib/newsyslog.
This script runs as the roots cron job everyday, checks the /var/adm/messages file and copies/moves it to /var/adm/messages.0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. In other words, it
does the Log Rotation for the /var/adm/messages.
In an event the /var file system is running out of space, these files needs to checked and can be removed (not the actual /var/adm/messages itself) to free up space
on the file system.
However, care has to be taken, if you decide to empty the /var/adm/messages itself for any reason. This process is called Truncation.

QUESTION 148
On localSYS, your SPARC based server, you back up the root file system with recursive snapshots of the root pool. The snapshots are stored on a remote NTS file
system.
This information describes the remote system where the snapshots are stored:
Remote system name: backupSYS

File system whore the snapshots are stored: /backups/localSYS
Mounted file system on localSYS: /rpool/snaps
Most recent backup name: rpool-1202
Disk c0t0d0 has failed in your root pool and has been replaced. The disk has already been part< and labeled and now you need to restore the root file system.
Which procedure would you follow to restore the ZFS root file system on localSYS?
A. boot cdrom -smount -f nfs backup_server:/rpool/snaps /rmtzpool create rpool c0t0d0s0cat /mnt/rpool.1202 | zfs receive -Fdu rpoolzpool set bootfs=rpool/ROOT/
solaris rpoolRecreate swap and dump devices.Reinstall the bootblock on c0t0d0.
B. boot cdrom -smount -f nfs backup_server:/rpool/snaps /mntzpool create rpool c0t0d0s0zfs create -o mountpoint=/ rpool/ROOTcat /mnt/rpool.1011 | zfs receive -
Fdu rpoolzpool set bootfs=rpool/ROOT/solaris rpoolRecreate swap and dump devices.Reinstall the bootblock on c0t0d0.
C. boot cdrom -smount -F nfs backup_server:/rpool/snaps /mntcat /mnt/rpool.1011 | zfs receive -Fdu rpoolzpool set bootfs=rpool/ROOT/solaris rpool

How to Recreate a ZFS Root Pool and Restore Root Pool Snapshots
In this scenario, assume the following conditions:
* ZFS root pool cannot be recovered
* ZFS root pool snapshots are stored on a remote system and are shared over NFS
* The system is booted from an equivalent Solaris release to the root pool version so that the Solaris release and the pool version match. Otherwise, you will need
to add the -o version=version-number property option and value when you recreate the root pool in step 4 below.
All steps below are performed on the local system.
1.
Boot from CD/DVD or the network.
On a SPARC based system, select one of the following boot methods:
ok boot net -s
ok boot cdrom -s
If you don't use -s option, you'll need to exit the installation program.
2.
Mount the remote snapshot dataset.
For example:
# mount -F nfs remote-system:/rpool/snaps /mnt
3.
Recreate the root pool.
For example:
# zpool create -f -o failmode=continue -R /a -m legacy -o cachefile=/etc/zfs/zpool.cache rpool c1t0d0s0
4.
Restore the root pool snapshots.
This step might take some time. For example:
# cat /mnt/rpool.0311 | zfs receive -Fdu rpool

Using the -u option means that the restored archive is not mounted when the zfs receive operation completes.
5.
Set the bootfs property on the root pool BE.
For example:
# zpool set bootfs=rpool/ROOT/osolBE rpool
6.
Install the boot blocks on the new disk.
On a SPARC based system:
# installboot -F zfs /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/zfs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0
