Which five statements describe options available for installing the Oracle Solaris 11operating
system using the installation media?
A.
You can perform a text or LiveCD installation locally or over the network.
B.
The text Installer does not install the GNOME desktop. The GNOME desktop package must he
added after you have installed the operating system.
C.
The LiveCD Installation cannot be used to install multiple instances of Oracle Solaris.
D.
The LiveCD installer cannot be used if you need to preserve a specific Solaris Volume Table of
Contents (VTOC) slice in your current operating system.
E.
The LiveCD Installer is for x86 platforms only.
F.
The GUI installer cannot be used to upgrade your operating system from Solaris 10.
G.
If you are installing Oracle Solaris 11 on an x86-based system that will have more than one
operating system installed in it, you cannot partition your disk during the installation process.
H.
The LiveCD installer can be used for SPARC or x86 platforms.
Explanation:
A: If the network is setup to perform automated installations, you can perform a text
installation over the network by setting up an install service on the network and selecting a text
installation when the client system boots.
B: After a fresh install of Solaris 11 express, only the console mode is activated.
To add Gnome, simply do :
$ sudo pkg install slim_install
This will install additional packages that are not installed by default.
D:The text installer advantages over the GUI installer include:
*In addition to modifying partitions, the text installer enables you to create and modify VTOC slices
within the Solaris partition.
F: How do I upgrade my Solaris 10 or lower systems to Solaris 11?
Unfortunately, you CAN’T. There is no direct upgrade installer or other tool that will allow you to
upgrade from earlier releases of Solaris to Solaris 11. This is primarily due to the vast changes in
the packaging mechanism in Solaris 10.
