As the Solaris OS administrator in your department, you have been asked to upgrade a SPARC- based server currently running Solaris 8 OS to the latest Solaris 10 OS release. This server is critical to the department’s productivity, so this upgrade must be done with minimal downtime and must allow for rollback to the previous version.
Which installation method should you use?

There is a requirement to create a script that backs up the /export/project file system to the default
tape drive for five consecutive nights. The file system is 2 gigabytes, and the backups from all five nights fit on the tape. Previous nights backups should not be overwritten.
What command in the script achieves this?

As system administrator, you are beginning the process of installing Solaris 10 OS on a new SPARC-based workstation. At the FORTH Monitor, which three will be displayed by initiating the banner command? (Choose three.)

# ls -l program1

and
# grep user1 /etc/passwd
user1:x:100:312::/export/home/user1:/bin/ksh
When user1 runs program1, what is the effective UID and GID of the process?

Given:
# logins -x -l root,dev,test1
root 0 root 0 Super-User

/sbin/sh
NP 082587 -1 -1 -1
dev 2000 bin 2
/usr/bin
/sbin/sh
LK 012504 -1 -1 -1

Which two statements are true? (Choose two.)

A recent system security review requires that in addition to the default logging of users using the su command, all su attempts must be logged to the console.
Which file must be edited to achieve this?

A user contacts the help desk to report that a script run by the user’s department is reporting an error. The script checks for who is logged in. Your first action is to make sure that the file that the who command reads for its output, is present.
Which file does the who command read to obtain its output?
