  1. Question 1

    Q1

    The advantage of core tiles is that they allow you an opportunity to examine the cause of problems, so that they can be resolved. However, core files must be managed because they ________.

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: A

    Explanation: Part of the job of cleaning up heavily loaded file systems involves locating and removing files that have not been used recently. You can locate unused files by using the Is or find commands.
    Other ways to conserve disk space include emptying temporary directories such as the directories located in /var/tmp or /var/spool, and deleting core and crash dump files.
    Note: Core files are generated when a process or application terminates abnormally. Core files are managed with the coreadm command.
    For example, you can use the coreadm command to configure a system so that all process core files are placed in a single system directory. This means it is easier to track problems by examining the core files in a specific directory whenever a process or daemon terminates abnormally.

  2. Question 2

    Q2

    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?

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: B

    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 15additional 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).www.j3e.de/ngroups.html):')NGROUPS_MAX as defined by different Unix versions are as follows (http://www.j3e.de/ngroups.html):Linux Kernel )= 2.6.3 65536Linux Kernel ( 2.6.3 32Tru64 / OSF/1 32IBM AIX 5.2 64IBMAIX5.3... 6.1 128OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, Darwin (Mac OS X) 16Sun Solaris 7, 8, 9, 10 16 (can varyfrom 0-32)HP-UX 20IRIX 16 (can vary from 0-32)Plan 9 from Bell Labs 32Minix 3 0 (Minix-vmd: 16)QNX 6.4 8

  4. Question 4

    Q4

    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)?

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: B

    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, prtconfwill only display information for that device node.

  5. Question 5

    Q5

    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 thatthe interface was up.
    Why did it work with the second address specified, but not the first?

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: B

    Explanation: The first IP address is already in use.

  8. Question 8

    Q8

    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?

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: E

    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

  9. Question 9

    Q9

    #ident '@(#)root 1.19 98/07/06 SMI' /* SVr4.0 1.1.3.1 */ #

  10. Question 10

    Q10Multiple answers

    You want to deploy Oracle Solaris 11 with the Automated Installer (Al). You need to make sure that your server and network meet the requirements for using Al.
    Identify two requirements for using Al.

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answers: A, D

    A, D -- Explanation: A: An automated installation of a client over the network consists of the following high-level steps:Step 1. The client system boots over the network and gets its network configuration and the location of the install server from the DHCP server.
    Step 2: The install server provides a boot image to the client.
    Etc.
    D: If two client machines need to be installed with the same version of the Cracle Solaris 11 CS but need to be installed differently in other ways, then create two Al manifests for the Al install service. The different Al manifests can specify different packages to install or a different slice as the install target, for example.
