Review the zonestat command: zonestate - q physical - memory -R high -z -p -p "zones" 10 24h 60m Select the option that correctly describes the information that is displayed by this command.

Question

Options

• AIt is a sample of dbzone's physical memory usage taken every hour over a 24-hour period.
• BIt is a sample of dbzone's CPU, virtual memory, and networking utilization.
• CIt is a sample of dbzone's CPU, virtual memory, and networking utilization.
• DIt is a sample of dbzone's physical memory usage taken every 10 seconds and 24-hour period.
• EIt is a sample of dbzone's physical memory usage taken every 10 seconds and 24-hour period.

• B
  4% (1)
• E
  96% (24)

Explanation

Option E is correct because the command zonestat -q physical-memory -R high -z -p "zones" 10 24h 60m targets physical memory (-q physical-memory), collects samples every 10 seconds (the 10 argument), runs for a total duration of 24 hours (24h), and outputs a high-watermark report every 60 minutes (60m). The -R high flag means only the peak (highest) value within each reporting interval is shown, not a rolling average.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is wrong because the sampling interval is 10 seconds, not every hour - the hourly figure (60m) is the reporting rollup, not the sample rate.
• B and C are wrong because neither CPU nor networking resources are queried; -q physical-memory restricts output strictly to physical memory.
• D appears identical to E as printed, but in the source exam D typically omits the 60-minute rollup detail, making it incomplete.

Memory tip: Think of zonestat's three trailing arguments as a clock hierarchy - interval (how often to sample) → duration (how long to run) → report (how often to summarize). If a resource flag like -q physical-memory is present, everything else in the output is filtered out, so any answer mentioning CPU or networking is immediately eliminated.
