You are using AI to install a now operating system. You add the following information to the AI manifest: <configuration type="zone" name="dbzone Which statement is true regarding the zone.cfg file?

Question

Options

• AIt is a text file in a zonecfg configuration format.
• BIt is an AI manifest that specifies how the zone is to be installed.
• CIt is an XML file in a form suitable for use as a command script file for the zonecfg command.
• DIt is an profile with keywords that are specific for configuring a zone as part of the installation
• EIt is an XML file that specifies the zonename, zonepath, and other zonecfg parameters.

• C

• E

Explanation

Option A is correct because the zone.cfg file referenced in the AI manifest <configuration type="zone"> element is a plain text file written in zonecfg's own command syntax - essentially a script of zonecfg subcommands (like create, set zonepath=, add net, etc.) that get replayed to configure the zone during installation.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B is wrong because the AI manifest (.xml) is what specifies installation instructions - zone.cfg is just a configuration input it references, not a manifest itself.
• C is close but wrong on format - zone.cfg is indeed usable as a command script for zonecfg, but it is not XML; it's plain text.
• D describes an SC (System Configuration) profile, which is a separate XML file used to configure things like network, users, and locale post-install.
• E is wrong because zone.cfg is not XML - XML describes the AI manifest format, not zone.cfg.

Memory tip: Think of zone.cfg as a "zonecfg recipe card" - it's just a plain text list of commands you'd type interactively into zonecfg, saved to a file. Anything XML in this context is either the AI manifest or an SC profile, never zone.cfg.
