Oracle 1z0-821 Sample Question Answers
Question # 1
You are executing this command in the default shell: sleep 5000 & The system displays a number. This value is______
A. the priority of the /usr/bin/sleep process B. the process ID of the /usr/bin/sleep process C. the process ID of the shell spawned to execute /usr/bin/sleep D. the process group ID that includes the /usr/bin/sleep process E. the amount of memory allocated to the /usr/bin/sleep process F. the current number of instances of the /usr/bin/sleep process
Answer: C
Explanation:
If a command is terminated by the control operator ‘&’, the shell executes the command
asynchronously in a subshell. This is known as executing the command in the background.
The shell does not wait for the command to finish, and the return status is 0 (true).
Question # 2
Which three Installation option allow for a "hands free" and "unattended'" Installation of the Solaris 11 environment?
A. Jumpstart B. LiveCD C. A text Installation over the network D. An Automated Installation performed on an x86 client E. An Automated Installation using media from a local DVD or USB drive F. An Automated Installation using a networked repository
Answer: D,E,F
Explanation:
Oracle Solaris 11 uses Automated Installer (AI) for unattended installations.
Unattended installations are possible by placing the contents of the AI Image media (or ISO
image contents from a download) on an AI server.
Question # 3
The OpenBoot firmware controls the operation of the system before the operating system is loaded. Which four tasks are directly controlled by the OpenBoot firmware?
A. Provides a list of boot entries from which to choose B. Allows hardware to identify itself and load its own plug-in device driver C. Loads the boot loader from the configured boot device D. Performs basic hardware testing E. Installs the console F. Reads and executes the boot archive G. Extract and executes the kernel image
Answer: A,B,C,D
Explanation:
OpenBoot firmware is executed immediately after you turn on your system. The primary
tasks of OpenBoot firmware are to:
* Test and initialize the system hardware (D)
* Determine the hardware configuration (D)
*Boot the operating system from either a mass storage device or from a network
*Provide interactive debugging facilities for testing hardware and software
Some notable features of OpenBoot firmware.
* Plug-in Device Drivers (B)
Most common tasks that you perform using OpenBoot
* Booting Your System
The most important function of OpenBoot firmware is to boot the system.
Note: If auto-boot? is true, the system will boot from either the default boot device or from
the diagnostic boot device depending on whether OpenBoot is in diagnostic mode. (C)
Question # 4
Which two options are characteristics of a fast reboot?
A. A fast reboot bypasses grub. B. A fast reboot cannot be used after a system panic on the x86 platform. C. A fast reboot can only be executed on the SPARC platform when the config/fastreboot_default property for the svc:/system/boot-config:default service is set to true. D. A fast reboot uses an in-kernel boot loader to load the kernel into memory. E. A fast reboot is the default on all platforms.
Answer: C,D
Explanation:
C: To change the default behavior of the Fast Reboot feature on the SPARC platform, so
that a fast reboot is automatically performed when the system reboots, see below.
The following example shows how to set the property's value to true on the SPARC
platform, so that a fast reboot is initiated by default:
D: Fast Reboot implements an in-kernel boot loader that loads the kernel into memory and
then switches to that kernel.
The firmware and boot loader processes are bypassed, which enables the system to reboot
within seconds.
The Fast Reboot feature is managed by SMF and implemented through a boot
configuration service, svc:/system/boot-config. The boot-config service provides a means
for setting or changing the default boot configuration parameters. When the
config/fastreboot_default property is set to true, the system performs a fast reboot
automatically, without the need to use the reboot -f command. This property's value is set
to true on the x86 platform. For task-related information, including how to change the
default behavior of Fast Reboot on the SPARC platform, see Accelerating the Reboot
Process on an x86 Based System.
Note: One new feature, called Fast Reboot, will allow the system to boot up without doing
the routine set of hardware checks, a move that can make system boot times up to two
and-a-half times faster, Oracle claimed. This feature can be handy in that an administrator
applying a patch or software update across thousands of Solaris deployments can reboot
them all the more quickly.
Question # 5
Which command should you choose to display the current parameters for the FSS scheduler?
A. dispadmin - c FSS B. prionctl -c FSS C. dispadmin -c FSS -g D. priocntl -c FSS -g
Answer: C
Explanation:
The dispadmin command displays or changes process scheduler parameters while the
system is running. -c class
Specifies the class whose parameters are to be displayed or changed. Valid class values
are: RT for the real-time class, TS for the time-sharing class, IA for the inter-active class,
FSS for the fair-share class, and FX for the fixed-priority class. The time-sharing and inter
active classes share the same scheduler, so changes to the scheduling parameters of one
will change those of the other. -g
Gets the parameters for the specified class and writes them to the standard output.
Question # 6
You create a flash archive of the Solaris 10 global zone on the serves named sysA. The archive name is s10-system.flar, and it is stored on a remote server named backup_server. On sysA, you create a Solaris 10 branded zone named s10-zone. You want to use the flash archive, located On" /net/bactup_servers/10-system.flar, to install the Operating system in the s10-zone zone. Which command do you choose to install the s10-system.flar archive in the Solaris 10 branded zone (s10-zone)?
A. zoneadm -z s10 -zone install - a net backup_server s10-system.flar -u B. zonecfg -z s10 -zone install - a net backup_server s10-system.flar -u C. zoneadm - z s10 -zone clone - s net backup_server s10-system.flar D. zone cfg - a s10-zone create - t SUNWsolaris10 < net backup_server s10-system.flar E. zonecfg -z s10-zone install -f net backup backup_server s10-system.flar
Answer: A
Explanation:
The zoneadm command is the primary tool used to install and administer non-global zones.
Operations using the zoneadm command must be run from the global zone on the target
system.
How to Install the solaris10 Branded Zone
A configured solaris10 branded zone is installed by using the zoneadm command with the
install subcommand.
Example: global# zoneadm -z s10-zone install -a /net/machine_name/s10-system.flar –u
Question # 7
You have a user that needs to use the cron tool to schedule some repetitive tasks. When the user enters the crontab –e command in a terminal window, the following error appears: crontab: you are not authorized to use cron. Sorry In order to troubleshoot this issue, in what directory would you start your invest
A. etc cron.d B. var spool cron C. var spool cron crontable D. var spool cron atjobs
Answer: A
Explanation:
crontab: you are not authorized to use cron. Sorry.
This message means that either the user is not listed in the cron.allow file (if the file exists),
or the user is listed in the cron.deny file.
You can control access to the crontab command by using two files in the /etc/cron.d
directory: cron.deny and cron.allow. These files permit only specified users to perform
crontab command tasks such as creating, editing, displaying, or removing their own
crontab files.
The cron.deny and cron.allow files consist of a list of user names, one user name per line.
Question # 8

A. 255.0.0.0 B. 255.255.0.0 C. 255.255.255.0 D. 255.255.255.24 E. 255.255.255.255
Answer: C
Explanation:
A 24-bit network mask is expressed as 255.255.255.0.
Question # 9
Select two correct statements about the authentication services available in Oracle Solaris 11
A. Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) is used to control the operation of services such console logins and ftp. B. The Secure Shell can be configured to allow logins across a network to remote servers without transmitting passwords across the network C. Secure Remote Procedure Calls (Secure RPC) provides a mechanism to encrypt data on any IP Socket connection. D. Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) is used to implement the Secure Shell in Oracle Solaris 11. E. Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) provides a mechanism to authenticate and encrypt access to local file system data.
Answer: A,E
Explanation:
A: Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) are an integral part of the authentication
mechanism for the Solaris. PAM provides system administrators with the ability and
flexibility to choose any authentication service available on a system to perform end-user
authentication.
By using PAM, applications can perform authentication regardless of what authentication
method is defined by the system administrator for the given client.
PAM enables system administrators to deploy the appropriate authentication mechanism
for each service throughout the network. System administrators can also select one or
multiple authentication technologies without modifying applications or utilities. PAM
insulates application developers from evolutionary improvements to authentication
technologies, while at the same time allowing deployed applications to use those
improvements.
PAM employs run-time pluggable modules to provide authentication for system entry
services.
E: The Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) is a method for adding
authentication support to connection-based protocols.
Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) is a framework for authentication and
data security in Internet protocols. It decouples authentication mechanisms from application
protocols, in theory allowing any authentication mechanism supported by SASL to be used
in any application protocol that uses SASL. Authentication mechanisms can also support
proxy authorization, a facility allowing one user to assume the identity of another. They can
also provide a data security layer offering data integrity and data confidentiality services.
DIGEST-MD5 provides an example of mechanisms which can provide a data-security
layer. Application protocols that support SASL typically also support Transport Layer
Security (TLS) to complement the services offered by SASL.
