Which two statements describe the capabilities of the Distribution Constructor?

A.
ISO images for use with the Automated Installer (AI) can be created.

B.
Bootable USB images can be created for SPARC and x86 architectures.

C.
A single installation server can be used to create ISO images, for SPARC and x86
architectures.

D.
Checkpoints are used to pause the build, thereby allowing the running of a script to modify the
resulting ISO image.

E.
A single installation server can be used to create ISO images for Solaris 10 and Solaris 11.0
operating systems.

Explanation:
A: Oracle Solaris Image Types include:
x86 or SPARC ISO Image for Automated Installations – The Oracle Solaris release includes the
automated installer tool. The automated installer (AI) is used to automate the installation of the
Oracle Solaris OS on one or more SPARC and x86 systems over a network.
D:
* You can also create custom scripts to modify your installation image. Then, you can add
checkpoints to the manifest file to run these custom scripts.
* You can use the options provided in the distro_const command to stop and restart the build
process at various stages in the image-generation process, in order to check and debug the image
that is being built. This process of stopping and restarting during the build process is called
checkpointing. Checkpointing is optional. Default checkpoints are specified in each manifest file.
Incorrect:
Not B: Only for x86, not for SPARCOracle Solaris x86 LiveCD – You can create an x86 ISO image that is comparable to the LiveCD
image that’s distributed as an Oracle Solaris release. You can also modify the content of this ISO
image by adding or removing packages. You can revise the default settings for the resulting
booted environment to create a custom ISO image or USB image.
Note: The distribution constructor creates images based on settings specified in XML files, called
manifest files. The manifest files contain specifications for the contents and parameters for the ISO
images that you create using the distribution constructor. The distribution-constructor package
provides sample manifests that can be used to create a custom x86 Live Media ISO, an x86 or
SPARC Automated Install ISO image, or an x86 or SPARC text installation ISO image.
The elements in each manifest file provide preset, default values that will create the type of ISO
image you need. You can manually edit these preset elements in a manifest file to customize the
resulting image. In addition, you can create custom scripts to further modify your image. Then,
reference the new scripts in the manifest file.

Can be used only on Solaris 11 (Not E)
Sparc Images can be created only on SPARC systems (Not C)
Bootable USB images can be created for SPARC and X86 (Not B)
Only for Sparc is this possible

AD By process of elimination.
