1Z0-820 practice question 3 of 25

Select the five tasks that need to be performed on the Automated Installer (AI) install server before setting up the client.

Answer options

A. Create a local IPS repository on the AI Install server and start the repository server service, the publisher origin to the repository file.

B. Set up a IP address on the AI install server.

Correct answer

C. The DHCP server must be enabled on the install server and must provide the DHCP service for the clients.

D. DHCP must be available on the network for the Install server and the clients, but the install server does not need to be the DHCP server.

Correct answer

E. Download the AI boot image. The image must be the same version as the Oracle Solaris OS that you plan to install on the client.

Correct answer

F. Download the text install image into the IPS repository.

G. Install the AI installation tools.

Correct answer

H. Create the AI install service. Specify the path to the AI network boot image ISO file and the path where the AI net image ISO file should be unpacked.

Correct answer

I. Create the AI install service. Specify the path to the AI network boot image ISO file and the path to the IPS repository.

Correct Answer:

B. B. Set up a IP address on the AI install server.; D. D. DHCP must be available on the network for the Install server and the clients, but the install server does not need to be the DHCP server.; E. E. Download the AI boot image. The image must be the same version as the Oracle Solaris OS that you plan to install on the client.; G. G. Install the AI installation tools.; H. H. Create the AI install service. Specify the path to the AI network boot image ISO file and the path where the AI net image ISO file should be unpacked.

Explanation

Setting up an Automated Installer (AI) server in Oracle Solaris 11 requires several prerequisite tasks. The server must have a static IP address configured (B). A DHCP server must be available on the network to provide IP addresses and boot parameters to clients, though it does not need to reside on the AI server itself (D). You must install the AI tools via the installadm package (G) and download the appropriate AI boot image (ISO) (E). Finally, you must create the AI install service using installadm create-service, which unpacks the ISO to a specified directory (H).

Why Incorrect

- Option A: A local IPS repository is not mandatory; clients can install packages directly from the remote Oracle repository (pkg.oracle.com) if they have internet access.
- Option C: The DHCP server is required on the network but does not strictly need to be enabled on the AI install server itself.
- Option F: The text install image is used for interactive manual installations, not for setting up an AI server or IPS repository.
- Option I: The installadm create-service command does not specify the path to the IPS repository; the repository location is defined within the AI manifest XML file.
