You want to deploy oracle Solaris 11 with the automated installer (AI). You need to make sure that
your server and network meet the requirements for using AI.
Choose the three options that describe; the requirements for using AI.
A.
You can create only one manifest per install service. If you need more than one manifest,
create multiple install services.
B.
If two client machines have different architectures and need to be installed with the same
version of the Oracle Solaris 11 OS, then create two AI manifests and a single Install service.
C.
You need a separate install service for each different client architecture that you plan to install,
and for each different version of the Oracle Solaris 11 OS that you plan to install on client systems.
D.
If two client machines have different architectures and need to be installed with different
versions of the Oracle Solaris 11 OS, then create two AI manifests and two install services.
E.
The install server needs to be able to access an Oracle Solaris Image Packaging System (IPS)
software package repository; the clients do not.
F.
The install server can be either an x86 machine or a SPARC machine.
Explanation:
B:
Note: You can create custom AI manifests for particular clients.
Create a custom XML AI manifest file. This method is best suited to an environment where few
systems require custom provisioning. Most systems to be installed have identical or similar
hardware and will be provisioned identically.
Write a script that dynamically creates an AI manifest for each client at installation time. Use this
method to create a custom installation for each client, based on client characteristics discovered at
installation time.
E: AI Server Software Requirements include
Software package repository
Ensure that the install server can access an IPS software package repository. AI requires the
install/installadm package.
F: Install Server Requirements
Any system that meets these requirements can be used as an AI install server, including laptops,
desktops, virtual machines, and enterprise servers. The install server can be either an x86
machine or a SPARC machine. An x86 install server can install both SPARC and x86 clients, and
a SPARC install server can install both SPARC and x86 clients.Note: To install clients over the network, AI requires a separate system to be an install server. On
the install server, create an AI install service to provide a net image and instructions for installing
the Oracle Solaris 11 OS on different clients.

CDF , C instead of E, since “The client machines you want to install must be able to access an Oracle Solaris Image Packaging System (IPS) software package repository.” http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/E21798/gkfaa.html
I agree with you Borko!
“The client machines you want to install must be able to access an Oracle Solaris Image Packaging System (IPS) software package repository. The IPS package repository can be on the install server, on another server on the local network, or on the Internet.”
“If two client machines have different architectures or need to be installed with different versions of the Oracle Solaris 11 OS, then create two AI install services, and associate each install service with the appropriate image source for the architecture and OS version you want to install. When the first install service of a particular architecture is created on an install server, a copy of that service, default-i386 or default-sparc, is automatically created. This default service is used for all installations to clients of that architecture that are not explicitly associated with a different install service with the create-client subcommand.”
I’m completely agree with you.

An AI install service includes a SPARC or x86 network boot image (net image), one or more installation instruction files (AI manifests), and zero or more system configuration instruction SMF profile files. The net image is not a complete installation. Client machines must access an IPS package repository to complete their installations.
If two client machines have different architectures or need to be installed with different versions of the Oracle Solaris 11 OS, then create two AI install services, and associate each install service with the appropriate image source for the architecture and OS version you want to install. When the first install service of a particular architecture is created on an install server, a copy of that service, default-i386 or default-sparc, is automatically created. This default service is used for all installations to clients of that architecture that are not explicitly associated with a different install service with the create-client subcommand.
If two client machines need to be installed with the same version of the Oracle Solaris 11 OS but need to be installed differently in other ways, then create two AI manifests for the AI install service. The different AI manifests can specify different packages to install or a different slice as the install target, for example.

I think correct answer are B, C and F
B)
If two client machines need to be installed with the same version of the Oracle Solaris 11 OSbut need to be installed differently in other ways, then create two AI manifests for the AI install service,/>. The different AI manifests can specify different packages to install or a different slice as the install target, for example.
If client systems need to have different configurations applied, then create multiple system configuration profiles for the install service. The different system configuration profiles can specify different network or locale setup or unique host name and IP address, for example.

Install Services
Each install server can include one or more install services. You must create an install service for each version of the OS and for each client architecture you need to support. For example you could have an install service for SPARC clients booting Oracle Solaris 11.1, another for SPARC clients booting Oracle Solaris 11.2, and then two more to provide the same services for x86 clients. Each install service includes a SPARC or x86 boot image, one or more installation instruction files (AI manifests), and optional system configuration profiles. Creating an Install Service provides instructions for creating and maintaining install services.
The boot image provided by the AI server is not a complete installation. The boot image creates a configuration on the client in which the installation can run. Client machines must access an IPS package repository or an archive to complete their installations.

No D)
You need four install services, not two install services
No E)
IPS Repositories Supporting AI
The client machines you want to install must be able to access an Oracle Solaris Image Packaging System (IPS) software package repository or an Oracle Solaris Unified Archive. A repository is a location from where software packages are retrieved. The location is specified by a Universal Resource Identifier (URI). The IPS package repository can be on the AI server, on another server on the local network, or elsewhere on the Internet. See Configuring Publishers in Adding and Updating Software in Oracle Solaris 11.2 for information about accessing a package repository. The IPS server can also provide any first-boot scripts that are needed to completely configure the client.

Install Server Requirements
Any system that meets these requirements can be used as an AI install server, including laptops, desktops, virtual machines, and enterprise servers. The install server can be either an x86 machine or a SPARC machine. An x86 install server can install both SPARC and x86 clients, and a SPARC install server can install both SPARC and x86 clients.
