Which three Installation option allow for a "hands free" and "unattended'" Installation of the Solaris 11 environment?

Question

Options

• AJumpstart
• BLiveCD
• CA text Installation over the network
• DAn Automated Installation performed on an x86 client
• EAn Automated Installation using media from a local DVD or USB drive
• FAn Automated Installation using a networked repository

• A
  11% (4)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  6% (2)
• D

Explanation

Automated Installation (AI) in Solaris 11 is specifically designed for hands-free, unattended deployments - it uses a manifest file to define installation parameters with no user interaction required. Options D, E, and F all represent variations of AI: over the network to an x86 client (D), from local DVD/USB media (E), and via a networked package repository (F). Together they cover every AI delivery method, making them the correct trio.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (JumpStart) is the legacy Solaris 10 automated install tool - it does not exist in Solaris 11, which replaced it with AI.
• B (LiveCD) is an interactive, graphical installation that requires user input at each step - the opposite of unattended.
• C (Text install over the network) is still an interactive installation, just without a GUI; a human must still drive it.

Memory tip: Think "AI = Autonomous Installation" - in Solaris 11, anything labeled Automated Installation (regardless of media source) is hands-free. If it says "text" or "Live," a human is watching the screen.
