The docker run -d --name web-01 httpd command will launch a container named web-01 in background mode. This command will create and start a new container from the httpd image, assign it the name web-01, and run it in detached mode (-d), which means the container will run in the background without attaching to the current terminal. The docker builder -f --name web-01 httpd command is invalid, as builder is not a valid docker command, and -f and --name are not valid options for docker build. The docker load --name web-01 httpd command is invalid, as load does not accept a --name option, and httpd is not a valid file name for load. The docker ps -a --name web-01 httpd command is invalid, as ps does not accept a --name option, and httpd is not a valid filter for ps. References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 16: Virtualization and Cloud Technologies, page 499.

The command pam_tally2 -u joe -r will resolve the issue of Joe being unable to log in to the Linux system. The pam_tally2 command is a tool for managing the login counter for the PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) system. PAM is a framework for managing authentication and authorization on Linux systems. PAM allows the administrator to define the rules and policies for accessing various system resources and services, such as login, sudo, ssh, or cron. PAM also supports different types of authentication methods, such as passwords, tokens, biometrics, or smart cards. PAM can be used to implement login restrictions, such as limiting the number of failed login attempts, locking the account after a certain number of failures, or enforcing a minimum or maximum time between login attempts. The pam_tally2 command can display, reset, or unlock the login counter for the users or hosts. The -u joe option specifies the user name that the command should apply to. The -r option resets the login counter for the user. The command pam_tally2 -u joe -r will reset the login counter for Joe, which will unlock his account and allow him to log in to the Linux system. This will resolve the issue of Joe being unable to log in to the Linux system. This is the correct command to use to resolve the issue. The other options are incorrect because they either do not unlock the account (usermod -s /bin/bash joe or passwd -u joe) or do not affect the login counter (chage -E 90 joe). References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 17: Implementing Basic Security, page 517.

The server’s CPU is spending too much time waiting for data inputs. This can be inferred from the output of the top command, which shows the percentage of CPU time spent in different states. The wa state stands for wait, and it indicates that the CPU is idle while waiting for an I/O operation to complete. In this case, the wa state is 52.4%, which means that more than half of the CPU time is wasted on waiting for data inputs. This can cause a high I/O latency and affect the performance of the server.

The other options are not correct based on the output received from the executed command. The server’s CPU is not taking too long to process users’ requests, because the us state, which stands for user, is only 0.2%, which means that the CPU is barely used by user processes. The server’s CPU does not show a high idle-time value, because the id state, which stands for idle, is 0.0%, which means that the CPU is not idle at all. The server’s CPU value for the time spent on system processes is not low, because the sy state, which stands for system, is 33.1%, which means that the CPU is heavily used by system processes.

The Internal Certificate Authority (ICA) is created during the primary Security Management Server installation process. The ICA is a component of Check Point’s Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) that issues and manages certificates for Security Gateways and administrators. The ICA is automatically installed and initialized when the primary Security Management Server is installed. The ICA is not created upon creation of a certificate, when an administrator decides to create one, or when an administrator initially logs into SmartConsole. References: Check Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) R80.x Study Guide, Chapter 3: Check Point Security Management Architecture, page 32.

The /boot/efi directory is the mount point in a UEFI system. This directory contains the EFI System Partition (ESP), which stores boot loaders and other files required by UEFI firmware. The /sys/efi directory does not exist by default in Linux systems. The /efi directory does not exist by default in Linux systems. The /etc/efi directory does not exist by default in Linux systems. References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 11: Managing the Linux Boot Process, page 398.

The correct sequence of commands to expand a volume group using a new disk is fdisk, pvcreate, vgextend. The fdisk command can be used to create a partition on the new disk with the type 8e (Linux LVM). The pvcreate command can be used to initialize the partition as a physical volume for LVM. The vgextend command can be used to add the physical volume to an existing volume group. The partprobe command can be used to inform the kernel about partition table changes, but it is not necessary in this case. The vgcreate command can be used to create a new volume group, not expand an existing one. The lvextend command can be used to extend a logical volume, not a volume group. The lvcreate command can be used to create a new logical volume, not expand a volume group. The mkfs command can be used to create a filesystem on a partition or a logical volume, not expand a volume group. References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 14: Managing Disk Storage, pages 462-463.

The firewall-cmd --list-services command will return the results for which the administrator is looking. This command will list all services that are allowed through the firewall in the default zone or a specified zone. A service is a predefined set of ports and protocols that can be enabled or disabled by firewalld. The firewall-cmd --get-services command will list all available services that are supported by firewalld, not only those that are allowed through the firewall. The firewall-cmd --check-config command will check if firewalld configuration files are valid, not list services. The systemct1 status firewalld command will display information about the firewalld service unit, such as its state, PID, memory usage, and logs, not list services. References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 18: Securing Linux Systems, page 543.

The lvs command can be used to obtain a list of all volumes that are part of a volume group. This command will display information such as the name, size, attributes, and volume group of each logical volume in the system. The vgs command can be used to obtain a list of all volume groups in the system, not the volumes. The fdisk -1 command is invalid, as -1 is not a valid option for fdisk. The pvs command can be used to obtain a list of all physical volumes in the system, not the volumes. References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 14: Managing Disk Storage, page 461.

The commands nslookup or host can be used to determine whether a hostname is in the DNS. The DNS is the domain name system, which is a service that translates domain names into IP addresses and vice versa. The nslookup command is a tool for querying the DNS and obtaining information about a domain name or an IP address. The host command is a similar tool that performs DNS lookups. Both commands can be used to check if a hostname is in the DNS by providing the hostname as an argument and seeing if the command returns a valid IP address or an error message. For example, the command nslookup www.google.com or host www.google.com will return the IP address of the Google website, while the command nslookup www.nosuchdomain.com or host www.nosuchdomain.com will return an error message indicating that the hostname does not exist. These commands will supply the information that is needed to determine whether a hostname is in the DNS. These are the correct commands to use for this task. The other options are incorrect because they do not query the DNS or obtain information about a hostname (rsync or netstat). References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 12: Managing Network Connections, page 378.

The mv /home/tmp/tempa /home/tmp/temp command will fix the issue of the misnamed directory. This command will rename the directory /home/tmp/tempa to /home/tmp/temp, which is the expected path for users to save their documents. The cp /home/tmp/tempa /home/tmp/temp command will not fix the issue, as it will copy the contents of /home/tmp/tempa to a new file named /home/tmp/temp, not a directory. The cd /temp/tmp/tempa command will not fix the issue, as it will change the current working directory to /temp/tmp/tempa, which does not exist. The ls /home/tmp/tempa command will not fix the issue, as it will list the contents of /home/tmp/tempa, not rename it. References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 12: Managing Files and Directories, page 413.
