Select the five tasks that need to be performed on the Automated Installer (AI) install server before
setting up the client.
A.
Create a local IPS repository on the AI Install server and start the repository server service, the
publisher origin to the repository file.
B.
Set up a IP address on the AI install server.
C.
The DHCP server must be enabled on the install server and must provide the DHCP service for
the clients.
D.
DHCP must be available on the network for the Install server and the clients, but the install
server does not need to be the DHCP server.
E.
Download the AI boot image. The image must be the same version as the Oracle Solaris OS
that you plan to install on the client.
F.
Download the text install image into the IPS repository.
G.
Install the AI installation tools.
H.
Create the AI install service. Specify the path to the AI network boot image ISO file and the path
where the AI net image ISO file should be unpacked.
I.
Create the AI install service. Specify the path to the AI network boot image ISO file and the path
to the IPS repository.
Explanation:
B: Configure the AI install server to use a static IP address and default route.
D: The create-service command can set up DHCP on the AI install server. If you want to set up a
separate DHCP server or configure an existing DHCP server for use with AI. The DHCP server
must be able to provide DNS information to the systems to be installed.
E: An automated installation of a client over the network consists of the following high-level steps:1. The client system boots over the network and gets its network configuration and the location of
the install server from the DHCP server.
2. The install server provides a boot image to the client.
3. Characteristics of the client determine which installation instructions and which system
configuration instructions are used to install the client.
4. The Oracle Solaris 11 OS is installed on the client, pulling packages from the package
repository specified by the installation instructions in the AI install service.
G: Install the AI tool set.
Use the installadm create-service command to create an AI install service. Give the service a
meaningful name, and specify the path where you want the service created. Specify the source of
the network boot image (net image) package or ISO file.
installadm create-service [-n svcname]
[-s FMRI_or_ISO] [-d imagepath]
-d imagepath
The imagepath is the location of the new install service. The install-image/solaris-autoinstall package is installed to this location, or the specified ISO file is expanded at this location.

I think neither answer C nor D is correct:
“Note: In environments where DHCP is not permitted, there are alternative methods for getting the network identity to the system manually, for example, through the use of network configuration arguments at the OpenBoot PROM (OBP) prompt on SPARC systems. It is possible to accomplish the installation by replacing the DHCP server with a step that otherwise provides a network identity to the client system. If your software is spread over multiple IPS repositories, it is also possible to install a system with software that is spread across multiple IPS repositories.”
However this one is tricky question 🙁
//God bless you.
how come E is correct and you can have different install services to install different OS version.

Set up DHCP. The AI server can also be the DHCP server. Alternatively, you can use a DHCP server that is already set up in this network.

To install the tools package, your AI install server must be able to access an Oracle Solaris Image Packaging System (IPS) software package repository. Make sure you are connected to the Internet or to a local IPS package server that contains the install/installadm package.

Ensure that the install server can access an IPS software package repository. AI requires the install/installadm package.

The following operations are performed as a result of executing the above installadm create-service command.
3. The ISO file, /var/tmp/images/i386/sol-11-dev-171-ai-x86.iso, is unpacked into the net image location, /install/images/s11-x86.
