51. When modifying the boot behavior of an x86-based Solaris

 server, the modification can be permanent or temporary. <br/><br/> Which option

(1) Points

Use the eeprom command to set the temporary boot command.

Use the kernel command to set the temporary boot command.

Edit the bootenv.rc file with the temporary boot command.

Modify the boot_archive file with the temporary boot command.

Correct Correct!

52. The hypothesis that is formulated in the diagnosis phase

 will state the most probable cause of a fault. A hypothesis to be tested follow
ing one of these recommended test methodologies: Factual, Experimental, or Assum
ptive.<br/><br/> You decide to follow the Experimental methodology for a hypothe
sis formulated for a reported fault. <br/><br/> Which option describes the actio
n to be performed
performed in the Experimen
Experimental
tal approach?
approach? Mark for Review
Review
(1) Points

Rely on previous experiences about the actual cause and take corrective
action.

Review all probable causes based on past problem logs to rapidly isolate
 the actual cause.

Test each probable cause of the fault and determine conclusively the act
ual cause.

Make educated guesses about the actual cause of the fault and take corre
ctive action.
Correct Correct!

53. The customer wants to know what command could be used on

 their Solaris servers to display the output of the current system definition; l
isting all hardware devices, pseudo devices, system devices, and loadable module
s.<br/><br/> Which command displays this output by analyzing the contents of phy
sical and virtual memory? Mark for Review
(1) Points

sysdef -i

/usr/platform/`uname -m`/sbin/prtdiag

/usr/sbin/sysdef

/usr/sbin/prtconf

Correct Correct!

54. Your customer reports that one of their x86-based Solari

s servers will not boot from the primary boot drive. Because the boot drive has
been mirrored, they need to make a change to the server so that the system boots
 from the alternate boot disk.<br/><br/> Which option describes the procedure to
 change the default boot disk? Mark for Review
(1) Points

Change the bootpath parameter in the boot_archive file so that it points

 to the correct boot device.

Use the eeprom command to change the bootpath parameter so that it point
s to the correct boot device.

Change the bootpath parameter in the /boot/solaris/bootenv.rc file so th

at it points to the correct boot device.

Use the eeprom command to change the boot-file parameter so that it poin
ts to the correct boot drive.

Correct Correct!

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

 poor, and many services are not running. The customer who configured this new z
one, had booted it and logged in successfully.<br/><br/> Within the new zone the
 following command was run, which explains the state of service.<br/><br/> # svc
s -xv<br/> No output for more than 5 minutes.<br/><br/> From the message generat
ed you surmise what the probable cause of the slow zone is, and run the next set
 of commands:<br/> # zoneadm -z newzone halt<br/> # zonecfg -z newzone<br/> zone
cfg:newzone> remove capped-memory<br/> zonecfg:newzone> commit<br/> zonecfg:newz
one> info<br/> zonecfg:newzone> exit<br/> # zoneadm -z newzone boot<br/> # zlogi
n newzone<br/> # svcs -xv<br/> The zone should run faster than before.<br/><br/>
 Which option would be the cause of this poor response time reported on the new
zone? Mark for Review
(1) Points

Zone initiation failed, uninstall and install again.

Physical memory capping changed.

Loopback filesystem not enabled.

Zone misconfigured, resources caps too low.

Correct Correct!
