The COMSTAR framework provides support for the iSCSI protocol. Select three options that correctly describe the COMSTAR framework.

1. A. iSCSI devices can be used as dump devices.
2. B. SCSI commands are carried over IP networks and enable you to mount disk devices from across the network onto your local system.
3. C. Large amounts of data can be transferred over an IP network with very little network degradation.
4. D. COMSTAR allows you to convert any Solaris11 host into a SCSI target device that can be accessed over a storage network.
5. E. One IP port can handle multiple ISCSI target devices.

Correct Answer: BDE
B: By carrying SCSI commands over IP networks, the iSCSI protocol enables you to access block devices from across the network as if they were connected to the local system. COMSTAR provides an easier way to manage these iSCSI target devices.
D: Common Multiprotocol SCSI TARget, or COMSTAR, a software framework that enables you to convert any Oracle Solaris 11 host into a SCSI target device that can be accessed over a storage network by initiator hosts.
E: One IP port can handle multiple iSCSI target devices.

8. H. 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.
9. I. The LiveCD installer can be used for SPARC or x86 platforms.

Correct Answer: ABDFH
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.
