Free RedHat RH302 Practice Exam with Questions & Answers | Set: 3

You should know about the /etc/inittab file, where default runlevel will define. And Much more runlevel specific Scripts are called here.

Actually that problem will occur if you don’t specify the default runlevel.

Reboot the system

Boot the System on single user mode.

Except for a normal boot of Linux, single-user mode is the most commonly used option. This is the system maintenance mode for experienced Linux administrators. It allows you to perform clean backups and restores to any partitions as needed from local hardware. It also allows you to run administration commands, recover or repair password and shadow password files, run filesystem checks, and so forth.

vi /etc/inittab and Write

id:runlevel:initdefault:

Standard Runlevels in RedHat Enterprise Linux

Runlevel

Description

0

Halt

1

Single-user mode, for maintenance (backups/restores) and repairs

2

Multiuser, without networking

3

Multiuser, with networking

4

Unused

5

X11, defaults to a GUI login screen. Logins bring the user to a GUI desktop.

6

Reboot (never set initdefault in /etc/inittab to this value!)

In Network problem think to check:

IP Configuration: use ifconfig command either IP is assigned to interface or not?

Default Gateway is set or not?

Hostname is set or not?

Routing problem is there?

Device Driver Module is loaded or not?

Device is activated or not?

Check In this way:

use ifconfig command and identify which IP is assigned or not.

cat /etc/sysconfig/networkWhat, What is written here. Actually here are these parameters.

NETWORKING=yes or no

GATEWAY=x.x.x.x

HOSTNAME=?

NISDOMAIN=?

Correct the file

Use netconfig command

Either Select Automatically from DHCP or assign the static IP

Use service network restart or start command

Now try to ping it will work.

Do the following steps as:

1.vi /etc/sysconfig/network

GATEWAY=192.168.0.254

OR

vi /etc/sysconf/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

DEVICE=eth0

BOOTPROTO=static

ONBOOT=yes

IPADDR=192.168.0.?

NETMASK=255.255.255.0

GATEWAY=192.168.0.254

2.service network restart

Do the following steps as:

1.Verify the File whether Shared or not ? : cat /etc/exports

2.Start the nfs service: service nfs start

3.Start the portmap service: service portmap start

4.Make automatically start the nfs service on next reboot: chkconfig nfs on

5.Make automatically start the portmap service on next reboot: chkconfig portmap on

6. Check default firewall is running in your system

# service iptables status

#iptables –F

#service iptables stop

#chkconfig iptables off

6.Verify Either sharing or not: showmount –e localhost

You will see that some shared directory will display

Very Easy question, nameserver is specified in question,

1.vi /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 192.168.0.254

2.host server1.example.com

Do the following steps as:

Quotas are used to limit a user's or a group of users' ability to consume disk space. This prevents a small group of users from monopolizing disk capacity and potentially interfering with other users or the entire system. Disk quotas are commonly used by ISPs, by Web hosting companies, on FTP sites, and on corporate file servers to ensure continued availability of their systems.

Without quotas, one or more users can upload files on an FTP server to the point of filling a filesystem. Once the affected partition is full, other users are effectively denied upload access to the disk. This is also a reason to mount different filesystem directories on different partitions. For example, if you only had partitions for your root (/) directory and swap space, someone uploading to your computer could fill up all of the space in your root directory (/). Without at least a little free space in the root directory (/), your system could become unstable or even crash.

You have two ways to set quotas for users. You can limit users by inodes or by kilobyte-sized disk blocks. Every Linux file requires an inode. Therefore, you can limit users bythe number of files or by absolute space. You can set up different quotas for different filesystems. For example, you can set different quotas for users on the /home and /tmp directories if they are mounted on their own partitions.

Limits on disk blocks restrict the amount of disk space available to a user on your system. Older versions of Red Hat Linux included LinuxConf, which included a graphical tool to configure quotas. As of this writing, Red Hat no longer has a graphical quota configuration tool. Today, you can configure quotas on RHEL only through the command line interface.

1. vi /etc/fstab

/dev/hda11/dataext3defaults,usrquota 1 2

2. Either Reboot the System or remount the partition.

Mount –o remount /dev/hda11 /data

3. touch /data/aquota.user

4. quotacheck –ufm /data

5. quotaon -u /data

6. edquota –u user1 /data

and Specified the Soft limit and hard limit on opened file.

To verify either quota is working or not:

Soft limit specify the limit to generate warnings to users and hard limit can’t cross by the user. Use the quota command or repquota command to monitor the quota information.

Do the following steps as:

Use fdisk /dev/hdaTo create new partition.

Type nFor New partitions

It will ask for Logical or Primary Partitions. Press l for logical.

It will ask for the Starting Cylinder: Use the Default by pressing Enter Key.

Type the Size: +100MYou can Specify either Last cylinder of Size here.

Press P to verify the partitions lists and remember the partitions name.

Press w to write on partitions table.

Either Reboot or use partprobe command.

Use mkfs –t ext3 /dev/hda? Where ? is your partition number

Or

mke2fs –j /dev/hda? To create ext3 filesystem.

mkdir /mnt/neo

vi /etc/fstab

Write:

/dev/hda?/mnt/neoext3defaults1 2

Verify by mounting on current Sessions also:

mount /dev/hda? /mnt/neo

Do the following steps as:

1. /proc is the virtual filesystem, we use /proc to modify the kernel parameters at running time.

# echo “1” >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

2. /etc/sysctl.confwhen System Reboot on next time, /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit scripts reads the file /etc/sysctl.conf. To enable the IP forwarding on next reboot also you need to set the parameter.

net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

Here 0 means disable, 1 means enable.

Very Tricky question from redhat. Actually question is giving scenario to you to implement quota to neo user. You should apply the quota to neo user on /home that neo user shouldn’t occupied space more than 70K.

1.vi /etc/fstab

LABEL=/home/homeext3defaults,usrquota0 0To enable the quota on filesystem you should mount the filesystem with usrquota for user quota and grpquota for group quota.

2.touch /home/aquota.userCreating blank quota database file.

3.mount -o remount /homeRemounting the /home with updated mount options. You can verify that /home is mounted with usrquota options or not using mount command.

4.quotacheck -u /homeInitialization the quota on /home

5.edquota –u neo /homeQuota Policy editor

See the snapshot

1 Disk quotas for user neo (uid 500):

2 Filesystem blocks soft hard inodes soft hard

4 /dev/mapper/vo-myvol 2 30 70 1 0 0

Can you set the hard limit 70 and soft limit as you think like 30.

The LVM system organizes hard disks into Logical Volume (LV) groups. Essentially, physical hard disk partitions (or possibly RAID arrays) are set up in a bunch of equal-sized chunks known as Physical Extents (PE). As there are several other concepts associated with the LVM system, let's start with some basic definitions:

Physical Volume (PV)is the standard partition that you add to the LVM mix. Normally, a physical volume is a standard primary or logical partition. It can also be a RAID array.

Physical Extent (PE)is a chunk of disk space. Every PV is divided into a number of equal sized PEs. Every PE in a LV group is the same size. Different LV groups can have different sized PEs.

Logical Extent (LE)is also a chunk of disk space. Every LE is mapped to a specific PE.

Logical Volume (LV)is composed of a group of LEs. You can mount a filesystem such as /home and /var on an LV.

Volume Group (VG)is composed of a group of LVs. It is the organizational group for LVM. Most of the commands that you'll use apply to a specific VG.

1.Verify the size of Logical Volume:lvdisplay /dev/vg0/lv1

2.Verify the Size on mounted directory:df –h or df –h mounted directory name

3.Use :lvextend –L+400M /dev/vg0/lv1

4. ext2online –d /dev/vg0/lv1to bring extended size online.

5. Again Verify using lvdisplay and df –h command.
