How is fast system reboot achieved in IPS?
-
By bypassing automatic system updates.
-
By allowing certain system and firmware checks to be bypassed
-
By cloning the system in non-networked environment
-
By allowing system to reboot non-virtually.
Correct Answer
A. By allowing certain system and firmware checks to be bypassedExplanation
Fast system reboot in IPS is achieved by allowing certain system and firmware checks to be bypassed. This means that during the reboot process, certain checks and verifications that are normally performed by the system and firmware are skipped, resulting in a quicker reboot time. By bypassing these checks, the system can be brought back online faster, reducing downtime and improving efficiency.Rate this question:

How to reduce system downtime? (2 correct answers)
-
Automatic dependency checking during software install
-
Quick boot into non-virtual environment
-
By turning off automatic dependency checking
-
Any dependent software is automatically installed
Correct Answer(s)
A. Automatic dependency checking during software install
A. Any dependent software is automatically installedExplanation
One way to reduce system downtime is by implementing automatic dependency checking during software installation. This ensures that all necessary dependencies are met before the software is installed, reducing the chances of compatibility issues or errors that could lead to system downtime. Additionally, automatically installing any dependent software also helps to minimize downtime as it ensures that all required components are in place and ready for use.Rate this question:

By applying changes to a clone or alternate boot environment
-
ZFS snapshots and clones are created in file systems with little or no overhead
-
Both of the above
-
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. By applying changes to a clone or alternate boot environmentExplanation
IPS provides installation revert back facility by applying changes to a clone or alternate boot environment. This means that instead of directly modifying the existing system, any changes made during installation are applied to a separate clone or boot environment. This allows for easy rollback if any issues occur during the installation process. Additionally, ZFS snapshots and clones are created in file systems with little or no overhead, further facilitating the revert back process. Therefore, both of the given options are correct.Rate this question:
