Question
Your company's security policy prohibits access to the Internet. You already installed an instance of Oracle Solaris 11 on an M-series server for base testing. You used the text install media to install the system. You also installed a package repository on the same system. There are 10 M-series servers that have just been installed on the local network. Can you immediately install an AI server on your testing machine order to install Oracle Solaris 11 on these 10 servers?
Options
- AYes, by using the existing Solaris 10 Jumpstart server.
- BYes, by using the text install media for the AI software.
- CYes, by using the Installed package repository.
- DNo, you must download the AI .iso image from Oracle first.
- ENo, the Solaris large-server group must be installed because it contains the AI setup tools.
- FNo, the Solaris 11 full n repository must be installed on the AI server.
- GNo, you must have a prebuilt image that was created by the distribution constructor.

Explanation
Setting up an Oracle Solaris 11 Automated Installer (AI) server requires dedicated AI ISO media - the .iso image containing installadm and the install image served to clients - which is a separate download from Oracle and was not included with the text install media used for the base system. Since your environment is Internet-restricted and you only have the text install media and a local package repository, you cannot immediately stand up an AI server.
Why the distractors fail:
- A - JumpStart is a Solaris 10 technology; Solaris 11 replaced it with AI entirely.
- B - The text install media is for interactive, single-system installs; it does not contain AI server software.
- C - The local package repository (seeded from the text media) does not include the
install/installadmpackage or the install image needed to serve clients. - E - No specific server group package is the blocker; the AI ISO itself is what's missing.
- F - While a full IPS repository is useful, the root problem is the missing AI ISO, not the repository size.
- G - A distribution constructor image is optional; the standard AI ISO from Oracle is sufficient.
Memory tip: Associate "AI" with "AI media" - Oracle's Automated Installer will not run off text install media any more than a DVD player runs off an audio CD. The tool and the media must match.
