Summary

SMC is a powerful and versatile tool for managing multiple systems from a single interface where different systems can be customized to administer their own local applications, as well as a set of common applications. This flexibility gives SMC a number of advantages over the admintool or command-line administration. For more information on SMC, read the administrator s guide on docs.sun.com .

Questions

1.	What is the optimal use for SMC? Managing single systems with no customization Managing single systems with customization Managing multiple systems with no customization Managing multiple systems with customization
2.	How is SMC customized? By compiling new applications By the creation of toolboxes that define applications for each system By the creation of a toolbox that defines applications for all systems By leveraging the object-oriented patterns in Java (SMC is built on Java)
3.	Which of the following is not performed by SMC by default? Assign rights and roles to users. Configure and format new disks for the system, including laying out partitions, and copying configurations from one disk to another in preparation for RAI Create a single user account or generate multiple accounts using a consistent specification. Optimize parallel execution of intermediate source bytecode.
4.	Which of the following is not performed by SMC by default? Manage RMI services through a distributed interface. Create new groups or modify existing groups. Create user policies and apply them. Execute jobs in real time or schedule them for regular, repeated execution.
5.	Which of the following is not performed by SMC by default? Install support for serial ports, modems, and related physical layer technologies such as PP Monitor processes and search for resumed, deleted, or suspended processes. Support developers through profiling and disassemble. Review system logs and search for anomalous or suspicious entries.
6.	Which of the following is not performed by SMC by default? Set up mailing lists. View mounted file systems. Authenticate administrative users Authenticate nonadministrative users
7.	What does the SMC option “auth-data allow? Allows authentication data to be read from a file Stipulates the name of a toolbox to read in from a file Designates the domain name for the systems that are being managed Nominates the hostname and port number of the server to manage
8.	What does the SMC option “toolbox allow? Allows authentication data to be read from a file Stipulates the name of a toolbox to read in from a file Designates the domain name for the systems that are being managed Nominates the hostname and port number of the server to manage
9.	What does the SMC option “domain designate ? Allows authentication data to be read from a file Stipulates the name of a toolbox to read in from a file Designates the domain name for the systems that are being managed Nominates the hostname and port number of the server to manage
10.	What does the SMC option “hostname:port nominate ? Allows authentication data to be read from a file Stipulates the name of a toolbox to read in from a file Designates the domain name for the systems that are being managed Nominates the hostname and port number of the server to manage
11.	What does the SMC option “J specify? Passes any command-line options to the Java Virtual Machine, such as the initial and maximum heap sizes Specifies a password for the role rolename Specifies a password for username Specifies a role to execute SMC
12.	What does the SMC option -rolepassword specify? Passes any command-line options to the Java Virtual Machine, such as the initial and maximum heap sizes Specifies a password for the role rolename Specifies a password for username Specifies a role to execute SMC
13.	What does the SMC option -password specify? Passes any command-line options to the Java Virtual Machine, such as the initial and maximum heap sizes Specifies a password for the role rolename Specifies a password for username Specifies a role to execute SMC
14.	What does the SMC option -rolename specify? Passes any command-line options to the Java Virtual Machine, such as the initial and maximum heap sizes Specifies a password for the role rolename Specifies a password for username Specifies a role to execute SMC
15.	Which of the following is not a valid entry in the auth-data file? hostname=ivana username=root password=my1asswd clash =su
