Full set: 75 questions
Answer options
A: install=default
B: install=true Correct answer
C: install=always
D: install=yes
E: install=now
Correct Answer:
B. install=true
Explanation

When booting an x86 system from Oracle Solaris 11 installation media, the GRUB boot menu is presented. The default entry for the Automated Installer (AI) includes the kernel boot argument install=true. This specific argument instructs the system to initiate the AI client and begin the installation process automatically. To prevent this and instead boot to a shell for maintenance or other purposes, you must edit the GRUB entry at boot time and remove the install=true parameter from the kernel command line.

Why Incorrect

A. install=default: This is not a valid boot parameter for controlling the Solaris 11 installation process.
C. install=always: This is not a recognized kernel argument for the Solaris 11 installer.
D. install=yes: While conceptually similar to true, install=yes is not the correct syntax used by the Solaris 11 Automated Installer.
E. install=now: This is not a standard or documented boot parameter for the Solaris 11 installation framework.

1. Oracle Solaris 11.4 Documentation Library, Installing Oracle Solaris 11.4 Systems, Chapter 4: Installing Using an Automated Installation, Section: Booting the AI Client.

This section states: "The default boot entry in the GRUB menu for the AI image includes the install=true option. This option causes the system to run the AI client." This directly confirms that install=true is the parameter responsible for starting the installation.

2. Oracle Solaris 11.4 Documentation Library, Installing Oracle Solaris 11.4 Systems, Chapter 2: Installing Using an Interactive Installer, Section: Booting From Media to a Shell Prompt.

This section provides instructions for booting to a shell and explicitly mentions editing the GRUB menu to remove the install=true option if it is present, thereby preventing the installer from running. It states, "If the GRUB entry includes the install=true option, delete that option."
