Clearasrdb Asr-Db ( ) Enable Component Asrkey Reset ( ) Asrdb

1.
The Automatic System

Recovery (ASR) feature Mark for Review
enables the server to (3) Points
automatically configure
failed components out of
operation until they can
be replaced. In the server,
the ASR feature manages
nonfatal hardware failures
associated with memory
modules and PCI cards.
To display system
components and their
current state you run the
following command.
sc> showcomponent
Keys:
/SYS/MB/PCI_MEZZ
/SYS/MB/PCI_MEZZ/PCIE4
/
SYS/MB/PCI_MEZZ/XAUI4
/
SYS/MB/PCI_MEZZ/XAUI5
/SYS/MB/PCI_MEZZ/PCEI6
…..
/SYS/TTYA
Disabled Devices
/SYS/MB/CMPO/L2_BANK0
Once a faulty component

has been disabled and
after the cause of the fault
has been repaired (for
example FRU
replacement, loose
connector reseated), you
must remove the
component from the ASR
blacklist database.
What two options describe

the command to remove a
disabled component and
the name of the database
containing the list of all
disabled components on
the system?
(Choose all correct answers)
clearasrdb
asr-db (*)
enable component asrkey ; reset (*)
asrdb
Correct!
2. You know that a boot archive is a subset of a root file system and that
the files in the boot archive are read by the kernel before the root Mark for Review
filesystem is mounted. After the root file system is mounted, the boot (2) Points
archive is discarded by the kernel from memory.
The files in the SPARC boot archive are located in the

/platform/`uname –m`/archive_cache directory.
The files that are part of the x86 boot archive are located in the
/platform/i86pc/amd64/archive_cache directory.
Which command automatically handles the Oracle Solaris boot archive

creation, updates and verification on both SPARC and x86 platforms?
boot-archive
bootadm (*)
/sbin/bootadm update-archive
menu.lst
Correct!
3. Oracle Solaris 11 installations are configured to have a default

publisher, solaris, which supplies software packages from the release Mark for Review
repository: http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release (2) Points
As the administrator, you can see what configuration a Solaris 11

system has by using the following command:
# pkg publisher
PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS URI
solaris origin online http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/
You can also quickly query some basic information about a repository
to view the package publishers known by the repository; number of
packages for each publisher; when the publisher’s package data was
last updated; and the status of the publisher’s package data, as
shown here:
PUBLISHER PACKAGES STATUS UPDATED

solaris 4044 online 2014-06-28T12:17:33.570603Z
Which two options describe the methods that you could use to quickly
query some basic information about the “release” repository to view
just the publisher’s name, number of packages, status, and last
updated timestamp?
Use the command: pkgrepo get –s http:

//pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/ -p all
Use the command: pkgrepo info -s
http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/ (*)
Load the repository URL into your Web browser. (*)
Use the command: pkgrepo list –p http:
//pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release
Sorry, that is not correct. Please review the course content

and try again.
4. The service configuration repository provides a per-service snapshot

at the time each service is successfully started so that fallback is Mark for Review
possible. The SMF service always executes with the running snapshot. (4) Points
This snapshot is automatically created if it does not exist.
You find that the console-login service configuration on a server is

wrong, and now need to take steps to fix the problem by reverting to
the last snapshot that started successfully. Once you have logged in
as superuser or equivalent role you run the following commands.
# svccfg
svc:> select system/console-login:default
svc: /system/console-login:default> listsnap
initial
running
start
svc: /system/console-login:default> revert start
svc: /system/console-login:default> quit
You have two more steps to complete in this process, which are
necessary to update the information in the service configuration and
to restart the service instance.
What two commands would you run to update the repository with the
configuration information from the start snapshot and then restart this
service instance?
svccfg export system/console-login
svcadm restart system/console-login (*)
svcadm update system/console-login
svcadm refresh system/console-login (*)
Correct!
5. An important step in fault analysis is to create a list of facts about

reported system faults. To assist in the collection of these facts, you Mark for Review
will collect all relevant errors on problematic services using SMF. (2) Points
You execute the following command on the faulty system:
# svcx –x
Which option describes the output of this command?
All enabled service instances even temporarily disabled service

instances are listed.
Text explaining what state a service is in, and why it is in that
state. (*)
Problematic services are described.
Information on legacy services is returned.
Correct!

6. Before actually installing a software package on a Solaris 11 system, you want to
check exactly what is going to be installed. In this example, you run the following Mark for Review
command to view the installation action of an apptrace package without installing (3) Points
it.
# pkg install –nv apptrace

Packages to install 1
Estimated space available: 46.27 GB
Estimated space to be consumed: 13.55 MB
Create boot environment: No
Create backup boot environment: No
Rebuild boot archive: No
You determine that there’s no issue with installing this package and run the pkg
install command to complete the package installation. To verify or validate the
installation of the package you run the following command:
# pkg verify –v apptrace

PACKAGE STATUS
pkg: //solaris/developer/apptrace OK
#
You decide to go ahead and install the dtrace package on this system too. When
the installation completes you verify the installation of this package.
# pkg verify –v dtrace
PACKAGE STATUS
pkg: //solaris/system/dtrace ERROR
<output truncated>
Which command would you use to correct the dtrace package installation error
reported?
pkg fix dtrace (*)
pkg revert dtrace
pkg update – –reject dtrace
pkg uninstall dtrace
Correct!
7. You want to save a crash dump of the live running Oracle Solaris system without
actually rebooting or altering the system in anyway. A dedicated dump device was Mark for Review
recently configured to the system using the dumpadm command. (2) Points
Which command would you use to save a live system crash dump?
# savecore –vf
# dumpadm –y –d
# savecore –L (*)
None of the above
Correct!
8. The following command line has been entered to create a new service called
newsvc1 and to identify this service as the source for automated install: Mark for Review
(3) Points
# installadm create-service –n newsvc1 –s /export/aiimages/s11ai.iso –d \
/export/auto_install/newsvc1
which has produced the following error message when booting.
{0} ok boot net:dhcp – install

Boot device: /pci@400/pci@2/pci@0/pci@6/network@0:dhcp File and args:
-install
install1000 Mbps full duplex Link up
Timed out waiting for BOOTP/DHCP reply
HTTP: Bad Response: 500 Internal Server Error
(wanboot.conf error: Can’t open configuration file)
ERROR: boot-read fail
{0} ok
What action would you take to correct this boot failure based on the error
message?
Check for permission problems on the AI configuration files.

Check the permissions on the wanboot.conf and system .conf files then try to
boot again.
Check that the system will still boot from the previous install service to verify
that the problem could exist with the newly created service.
Check all of the above until the newly created service boots the system
successfully. (*)
Correct!
9. You are notified that a system has panicked because it tried to execute an illtrap
instruction at ksyms_open+0x14, as shown in the following output: Mark for Review
> < pc::dis (2) Points
<output truncated>
ksyms_open+0x14 : illtrap 0x0
<output truncated>
Knowing that the kernel will not overwrite its own code due to permissions on the
pages of memory containing kernel code, you deduce two possible reasons for the
cause of this panic.
Which two options could have caused this system panic?
Data cannot be used to reconstruct events that lead to the panic.
BAD TRAP occurred due to a NULL pointer.
The kernel branched to a location that contained the instruction NULL. (*)
A serious hardware problem. (*)
Correct!
10. In general, after the kernel panics a system, the system reboots. When the kernel
panics it drops into the debugger and prints some interesting information. You Mark for Review
know that the mdb utility can examine this information to determine the cause of (4) Points
the panic.
After a system crash, you locate the appropriate saved image and then invoke mdb.
# cd /var/crash/`uname –n`
# ls
bounds unix.1 unix.3 vmcore.1 vmcore.3
unix.0 unix. 2 vmcore.0 vmcore.2
# mdb –k unix.2 vmcore.3

Loading modules: [ unix genunix specfs dtrace zfs scsi_vhci sd mpt mac
px lcd ip
hook neti arp usba kssl fctl sockfs random mdesc idm cpc crypto
fcip fcp ufs
logindmux nsmb ptm sppp nfs lofs ipc ]
As a next step, you retrieve a stack backtrace which shows in reverse order all the
functions that were active at the time of the panic.
Which option would you use in the mdb debugger to generate a stack backtrace?
<pc::dis
::msgbuf
$C
$c (*)
Correct!
11. Fault types that
can occur on a Mark for Review
system are (2) Points
placed in five
error
categories:
Software,
Hardware,
Critical, Fatal,
System Panics,
and Warnings.
When a system
fault is caused
by a critical
error it is
recommended
that the system
be immediately
shutdown.
Which two
faults could be
attributed to a
critical error
that requires
the immediate
shutdown of
the system?
Single power supply failure in a system with redundant power

supplies. (*)
Fan failure, resulting in an increased operating temperature. (*)
Component burnout due to high temperature.
Corrupt disks.
Sorry, that is not correct. Please review

the course content and try again.
12. You have been asked to install Oracle VTS, an Oracle hardware
validation test on a SPARC server. Once installed you need to run a Mark for Review
non-intrusive online stress test mode and a data-safe system exerciser (4) Points
test mode, all to test the server.
Which two options describe the actions of these two test modes on the
server?
This mode puts maximum stress on the component or module

under test, and all tests are run sequentially.
This mode performs targeted testing of system components and
modules.
This mode tests the system with all its components, all tests are
run in parallel, and no other application except this software
should be running on the system. (*)
This mode for testing is used to validate the hardware without
having significant impact on other applications running on the
system. (*)
Sorry, that is not correct. Please review

the course content and try again.
13. After a system reboot, users can’t telnet to other systems or do other
network-related tasks. Mark for Review
(2) Points
# telnet host68
Trying 192.181.164.61...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Network is unreachable
To check for reasons why the users can't communicate over the
network, you use the ipadm and ifconfig commands to make sure the
network interface is configured correctly and is plumbed and up.
# ipadm
# ifconfig net0 up
You also check the rc directories to see what scripts may be running
that are undesired, since legacy rc scripts can still can run in addition to
SMF.
Which option describes additional steps you could take to resolve the
reported problem with the network?
Troubleshoot using svcs -xv to make sure all the network services
are enabled; try enabling them by hand.
Create a backup of the faulty system before fixing anything.
Check for any hardware NIC errors using the fmadm faulty
command.
Both a. and c. above. (*)
Correct!
14. To install client systems by using AI, you initially set up your install
server and create at least one install service for each client architecture Mark for Review
and each version of Oracle Solaris that you plan to install. (4) Points
When you created each install service, you created customized

installation instructions and system configuration instructions for
different clients.
Now you boot a client and the installation begins following this
sequence.
1. The client is booted.

2. The client system contacts the DHCP server and retrieves the client
IP address, the boot file, and the IP address of the installer, if required.
3. The client system loads the net image.
4. The client system completes its installation by using the appropriate
AI manifest.
5. The client system reboots, if <left blank intentionally>
6. During a reboot, the client system is configured by using an SC
profile, or by the administrator’s responses in the interactive system
configuration tool.
Which option would you select to correctly complete step 5 in the

installation sequence?
The client system reboots, if the auto_reboot value is set in the AI

manifest.
The client system reboots, if rebooted by the system

administrator.
The client system reboots, if the auto_reboot value is set in the

client.
All of the above (*)
Correct!
15. A system has crashed with a panic. You need to analyze this system
panic and determine what kind of panic has occurred. The steps you Mark for Review
plan to take include displaying the current crash dump configuration; (2) Points
coverting the dump file to files that can be analyzed with the mdb
utility; and then printing a summary of information that reveals what
kind of panic took place.
Which option describes the correct sequence of commands that you

would use for this troubleshooting procedure? (Note: savecore is
enabled.)
# dumpadm ; cd /var/crash ; savecore –f dumpfile_name ; mdb 0

and then ::status (*)
# dumpadm ; cd /var/crash ; savecore –f dumpfile_name ; mdb -k
and then ::status
# dumpadm ; cd /var/crash ; savecore –f dumpfile_name ; mdb 0
and then ::quit
None of the above
Correct!
16. The show-
post-results Mark for Review
command is (3) Points
an OBP-level
command
that you use
at the
firmware
level of a
system to
display
information
about the
last
executed

Correct!
26. SMF has a notification
feature that notifies Mark for Review
you through email (2) Points
messages of service
state transitions and
fault management
events. You want to
set up a notification
to occur if any service
state changes from
the online state to
any other state.
As a first step you

have installed the
smtp_notify package:
# pkg install
service/fault-
management/smtp-
notify
and now need to

enable and then
configure the service
notifications.
Which option
describes the

See: http://support.oracle.com/msg/SMF-8000-KS
See: /var/svc/log/application-pkg-server:default.log
Impact: This service is not running.
In the output, you see that the IPS service has failed to start and has
been placed in “maintenance” state due to repeated startup failures.
Which two options describe the remaining steps to be performed to

debug this service that has failed to started?
Use /usr/sbin/svcadm –v restart serviceinstance to restart a

service that is in degraded state.
Check the manifest files that completely define a service or an

instance located in /lib/svc/manifest or /var/svc/manifest
Read the log associated with the failing service to identify the
cause of the failure using cd /var/svc/log and the more command. (*)
Verify the failure by disabling and enabling the failed service

using svcadm disable serviceinstance ; svcadm enable serviceinstance

31. The following system message shows up on the
console indicating a problem. Mark for Review
(2) Points
Fault class : fault.cpu.ultraSPARC-T2plus.ireg
Affects :
cpu:///cupid=0/serial=1F95806CD1421929
faulted and taken out of service
FRU : “MB/CPU0” (hc://:product-
id=SUNW,T5440:server-id=bur419-61:\
serial=3529:part=541255304/motherboard=0/cupbo
ard=0)
faulty
Which option would explain the appearance of this

system message on the console screen?
The fmdump –v –u UUID command was used

to display fault information on the system.
The fmadm faulty command was used to

display active problems related to faults or defects
and determine the FRUs involved. (*)
The fmadm faulty command was used to

display an historical log of faults or defects on the
system.
The fault management daemon,(fmd) received

telemetry information relating to problems detected
and sent a message to syslogd service to notify the
administrator that a problem has been detected.
Sorry, that is not correct. Please

review the course content and try
again.
32. A user is logged in as root but still cannot install a

package in a non-global zone. Mark for
Review
# zlogin web (4) Points
root@web# pkg install apptrace
pkg install: Could not complete the operation on
/var/pkg/lock: read-only filesystem.
You have the user check the settings of the zone,

using the following command to look for a specific
setting that may cause a read-only file system.
# zonecfg –z web info

zonename: web
zonepath: /zones/web
brand: solaris
autoboot: true
bootargs:
file-mac-profile: strict
<output truncated>
The user locates a file-mac-profile property in the

output of the command, which has been set to a
value of strict. By default, a zonecfg file-mac-profile
property is not set in a non-global zone. The default
policy for a nonglobal zone is to have a writable
root file system. Knowing this information, you tell
the user that this is the desired setting placed on
the non-global zone and should not be changed.
Which statement is true when describing the profile

strict?
Logging and auditing configuration files can be

local.
Permits updates to /var/* directories, and

modification of files in /etc/* directories.
Permits updates to /var/* directories, with the

exception of directories that contain system
configuration components.
Read-only file system, no exceptions. (*)

again.
33. While diagnosing peripheral devices using the

probe-scsi and probe-scsi-all commands, the SCSI Mark for
devices on two systems are not detected. These Review
devices are in fact physically attached to the on- (2) Points
board SCSI controllers.
What step would you take to correct this reported

problem with the SCSI devices?
Use POST to perform diagnostic tests for the

hardware components.
Test the hardware devices attached to the
systems with the test-all command.
Run reset on both systems.
Power on all the SCSI devices. (*)

again.
34. While booting a server the following error message

is generated on the console. Mark for
Review
Boot device: (2) Points
/pci@9/pci@0/pci@0/pci@1,2/LSTLogic,sad@2/disk
0,0:a File and args:
ERROR: boot-read fail
Evaluating:
Can’t locate boot device
{0} ok
You know that there are two probable causes for

the boot sequence to return to the ok prompt
without booting.
Which option describes how this problem could

have occurred?
Boot device does not exist on the machine.
Incorrect NVRAM or boot settings.
Boot device is corrupt.
Correct!
35. The system administrator normally creates and

manages three important components contained in Mark for
the Automated Installer (AI). These components Review
include: (2) Points
- System manifest files (for global and non-global
zones)
- Client criteria
- System configuration (SC) profile files (for global
and non-global zones)
Your manifest file contains AI installation

instructions such as IPS server location, software
packages to be installed, and the location of a non-
global zone configuration file. The client criteria file
allows you to identify which clients will be
associated with specific AI services.
Which option describes what you as a system

administrator are allowed to do when working with
SC profile files?
You can configure client’s attributes such user

accounts, networking configuration,
localization, and so on.
You can select more than one SC profile for any
particular client.
You can configure the Oracle Configuration
Manager in a SC profile file of clients.
36. Users try to ssh, telnet
and rlogin to another Mark for Review
system and get error (2) Points
messages.
# ssh host07
ssh_exchange_identificati
on: Connection closed by
remote host
# rlogin host07
Protocol error: host07
closed connection
# telnet host07
Connection to host07
closed by foreign host
However, host08 can
ssh/rlogin/telnet to
host07:
host08# telnet (or
ssh/rlogin ) host07
login:
Which two options

describe the reason
these users cannot ssh,
telnet or rlogin to a
certain system?
Corrupt root file system.
Unwanted security settings in the hosts.deny and

hosts.allow files. (*)
Not an error, desired behavior as a method of

security. (*)
Corrupt /usr/bin directory.

37. The response time within a newly configured zone is very

poor, and many services are not running. The person that Mark for
configured this new zone booted it and logged in Review
successfully. (2) Points
Within the new zone the following command is run, which

explains the state of services.
# svcs –xv
No output for more than 5 minutes.
From this generated message, you surmise what the

probable cause of the slow zone is and run the next set of
commands:
# zoneadm –z newzone halt

# zonecfg –z newzone
zonecfg:newzone> remove capped-memory
zonecfg:newzone> commit
zonecfg:newzone> info
zonecfg:newzone> exit
# zoneadm –z newzone boot
# zlogin newzone
# svcs –xv
The zone should now run faster than before.
Which option would be the cause of this poor response

time reported on this new zone?
Physical memory capping changed.
Zone mis-configured; resources caps to low. (*)
Loopback file system not enabled.
Zone initiation failed.

38. Usually a milestone does nothing useful itself, but declares

a specific state of system-readiness which other services Mark for
can depend upon. Since you have been asked to share Review
some basic information about milestones with a new (3) Points
administrator, you start by using the svcs command to view
a list of milestones that are defined on the server.
# svcs milestone*
STATE STIME FMRI
online Jun_30 svc:/milestone/unconfig:default
online Jun_30 svc:/milestone/config:default
online Jun_30 svc:/milestone/devices:default
online Jun_30 svc:/milestone/network:default
online Jun_30 svc:/milestone/single-user:default

online Jun_30 svc:/milestone/self-assembly-
complete:default
online Jun_30 svc:/milestone/multi-user:default
online Jun_30 svc:/milestone/multi-user-
server:default
Which option contains the statement that would not be true

when working with SMF milestones?
To change a milestone it is recommended that

administrators always use the svcadm command and
discontinue any use of the init command. (*)
Milestone manifest files are located in

/lib/svc/manifest/milestone.
A system’s current milestone is always defined in the

options_ovr/milestone property of the
svc:/system/svc/restarter:default service.
Solaris networking has its own milestone called

network

39. During an Automated Install a SPARC client successfully

downloads the boot_archive and boots the Oracle Solaris Mark for
kernel, but fails to get one of the image archives. The Review
following error message indicates that the solaris.zlib file is (4) Points
causing this problem.
