Correct Answer:

A. The zone.cfg file is text file in a zonecfg export format.

Explanation

In an Automated Installer (AI) manifest, when specifying a zone configuration using the element, the source file must be a plain text file in the zonecfg export format. This file is typically generated using the zonecfg export command and contains the necessary instructions and parameters to create the zone during the automated installation process.

Why Incorrect

- B: The file is a zone configuration export file, not an AI manifest itself.
- C: The zone configuration file is a plain text file, not an XML file.
- D: System Configuration (SC) profiles are XML files used for system-level configuration (e.g., users, locale), not for zone creation parameters.
- E: The file is a text file in zonecfg export format, not an XML configuration file located in /etc/zones.
