You are using AI to install a new system. You have added to following information to the AI manifest: <configuration type= "zone" name= "dbzone" Which statement is true with regard to the zone.cfg?

Question

Options

• AThe zone.cfg file is text file in a zonecfg export format.
• BThe zone.cfg file is an AI manifest that specifies how the zone is to be installed.
• CThe zone.cfg file is an xml file in a form suitable for use as a command file for the zonecfg command.
• DThe zone.cfg file is an SC profile with keywords that are specific for configuring a as part of the installation
• EIt is am xml configuration file from the /etc/zone directory. It will be used as a profile for the zone.

• A

• B

Explanation

Option A is correct because when the AI manifest references <configuration type="zone" name="dbzone">, it looks for a zone.cfg file that is a plain text file containing output in the same format produced by the zonecfg export command - essentially a series of zonecfg subcommands readable by humans and the installer.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B is wrong because the AI manifest is the separate XML file that references zone.cfg - zone.cfg is not itself a manifest.
• C is wrong because zone.cfg is not XML; it is plain text in export format, not a structured XML command file.
• D is wrong because SC (System Configuration) profiles are a distinct XML artifact used for post-install system configuration, not zone layout.
• E is wrong on two counts: zone configs live in /etc/zones/ (plural), and the zone.cfg used by AI is an input file you supply, not pulled from that directory - and again, it is not XML.

Memory tip: Associate zone.cfg with the output of zonecfg -z <name> export - if you've ever exported a zone config to a file, that plain-text result is exactly what zone.cfg is. No XML, no manifest - just raw zonecfg commands in a text file.
