Review Questions and Answers

1.	You are configuring the custom JumpStart installation for a large network. The network has JumpStart clients on six separate IP subnets. The install server is on the second subnet. What is the total number of boot servers you will need to install to get the JumpStart installation to work properly? None One Five Six
2.	Your network consists of 30 Solaris 8 client computers. You are going to use custom JumpStart to upgrade all computers to Solaris 9. Most of the computers have critical files located on them. Although the files are backed up periodically, you want to ensure that all local files are backed up before the upgrade procedure. Which of the following should you configure to initiate the backup? An install script A custom rule in the rules file A begin script A finish script The backup keyword in each computer's profile
3.	You are using Web Start Flash to install Solaris 9 on the client computers on your network. The network has two hardware platforms, sun4u and i386. You also have three major software configurations to support, including one for engineering, one for accounting, and one for the development staff. Each department has a mix of hardware platforms. If you want to create Web Start Flash archives for each client computer on your network, how many archives will you need to create? One Two Three Six None of the above

Answers

1.	D. You need one boot server for each subnet. The second subnet contains the install server, which can also function as the boot server. Each of the other subnets will need their own boot server.
2.	C. A begin script runs before the installation or upgrade takes place. One of the common uses of begin scripts is to back up existing files before installing or upgrading Solaris.
3.	D. You have two separate hardware platforms and three separate software configurations. Because you need to account for all possible hardware and software combinations, you will need a total of six Web Start Flash archives.
4.	A. The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is used to transfer the boot file from the boot server to client computers. The Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) helps boot clients locate their IP address. The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is used for file transfers, as is the Remote Copy (RCP). However, neither is used in this case. Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) initiate processes on remote computers and are not responsible for transferring boot files.
5.	C. The information is from a custom JumpStart profile, which tells JumpStart how to install Solaris on a computer. In this case, the installation type will be a Web Start Flash installation (as indicated by the flash_install value).
6.	B, C, F. The three required server roles for JumpStart are boot, install, and profile.
7.	A. The flarcreate n command is used to create Web Start Flash archives. The flar command is used to manage existing archives.
8.	B. After creating the rules file, you need to validate it by running the check script. The check script validates the rules file and creates the rules.ok file, which is used by JumpStart. All of the other answers are valid tasks to complete when setting up JumpStart, but the logical step to take after creating a rules file is to validate it.
9.	B, C. Some of the computers on the 192.168.0.32 network will receive the 4u_profile profile, but only those that have the sun4u architecture. The next line negates the architecture, so that computers on that network without the sun4u architecture will get the otro_profile profile. The any profile matches to any computer. Finish scripts are supplied on the second and fourth lines of information, not just for computers on the 192.168.0.32 network.
10.	B. Web Start Flash archives are for initial installations only; they cannot be used to upgrade operating system installations. You can create as many archives as you want, and archives can be used on all Solaris client computers.
11.	D. The pfinstall command is used to test profiles. The modify_install_server command is used to modify the installation files on the JumpStart install server. The check command validates rules files, and pkgcheck was made up for this question. The luupgrade command is used to modify a boot environment when using Solaris Live Upgrade.
12.	C. This profile will install the Solaris End User software cluster, based on the SUNWCuser value in the cluster keyword.
13.	C, D. Profiles and rules files can be located on the profile server or on a profile diskette. In most cases, the profile server is the same computer as the boot server and the install server, but if you use separate servers for each function, the profile belongs on the profile server.
14.	A. The add_install_client command is used to add JumpStart clients to the JumpStart server. Although all of the other commands are valid commands for modifying the install server, none of them are used to add clients.
15.	B. Begin and finish scripts are fields in the rules file. Therefore, begin and finish scripts are called from the rules file.
16.	A, B, C, D. All four methods are valid. You can install Web Start Flash archives from within any of the listed installation programs.
17.	B. The install server contains copies of the Solaris installation files. The installation server and config servers do not exist.
18.	C. This error usually indicates that there is more than one entry for the client computer in the /etc/bootparams file of one or more boot servers. This becomes more common if you use the wildcard to specify client computers. Although it's possible that the network is down, it's not a specific problem to this error message. There is no inetd.rpc daemon.
19.	A, F. The flar -s command enables you to split archives into their component sections. There is no flarmod command. The flarcreate command is used to create Web Start Flash archives. The flar -i command enables you to view archive information, and the flar -c command is used to combine archive sections. The -b switch specifies block size if you're working with tape devices.
20.	A, D. You add this line to the /etc/bootparams file on the boot server. This line functions as a wildcard and enables all client computers access to the profile server.
