Question 51

One Logical Volume is created named as myvol under vo volume group and is mounted. The Initial Size of that Logical Volume is 400MB. Make successfully that the size of Logical Volume 200MB without losing any data. The size of logical volume 200MB to 210MB will be acceptable.

Answer 51

First check the size of Logical Volume: lvdisplay /dev/vo/myvol Make sure that the filesystem is in a consistent state before reducing: # fsck -f /dev/vo/myvol Now reduce the filesystem by 200MB. # resize2fs /dev/vo/myvol 200M It is now possible to reduce the logical volume. #lvreduce /dev/vo/myvol -L 200M Verify the Size of Logical Volume: lvdisplay /dev/vo/myvol Verify that the size comes in online or not: df -h

Question 52

One Logical Volume named /dev/test0/testvolume1 is created. The initial Size of that disk is 100MB now you required more 200MB. Increase the size of Logical Volume, size should be increase on online.

Answer 52

lvextend -L+200M /dev/test0/testvolume1 Use lvdisplay /dev/test0/testvolume1) ext2online -d /dev/test0/testvolume1 lvextend command is used the increase the size of Logical Volume. Other command lvresize command also here to resize. And to bring increased size on online we use the ext2online command.

Question 53

We are working on /data initially the size is 2GB. The /dev/test0/lvtestvolume is mount on /data. Now you required more space on /data but you already added all disks belong to physical volume. You saw that you have unallocated space around 5 GB on your harddisk. Increase the size of lvtestvolume by 5GB.

Answer 53

Create a partition having size 5 GB and change the syste id '8e'. use partprobe command pvcreate /dev/hda9 Suppose your partition number is hda9. vgextend test0 /dev/hda9 vgextend command add the physical disk on volume group. lvextend -L+5120M /dev/test0/lvtestvolume verify using lvdisplay /dev/test0/lvtestvolume.

Question 54

One Domain RHCE is configured in your lab, your domain server is server1.example.com. nisuser2001, nisuser2002, nisuser2003 user are created on your server 192.168.0.254:/rhome/stationx/nisuser2001. Make sure that when NIS user login in your system automatically mount the home directory. Home directory is separately shared on server /rhome/stationx/ where x is your Station number.

Answer 54

use the authconfig --nisserver= --nisdomain= -- update Example: authconfig --niserver=192.168.0.254 --nisdomain=RHCE --update or system-config-authentication Click on Enable NIS Type the NIS Domain: RHCE Type Server 192.168.0.254 then click on next and ok You will get a ok message. Create a Directory /rhome/stationx where x is your station number. vi /etc/auto.master and write at the end of file /rhome/stationx /etc/auto.home --timeout=60 vi /etc/auto.home and write * -rw,soft,intr 192.168.0.254:/rhome/stationx/& Note: please specify your station number in the place of x. Service autofs restart Login as the nisuser2001 or nisuser2002 on another terminal will be Success. According to question, RHCE domain is already configured. We have to make a client of RHCE domain and automatically mount the home directory on your system. To make a member of domain, we use the authconfig with option or system-config authentication command. There a are lots of authentication server i.e NIS, LDAB, SMB etc. NIS is a RPC related Services, no need to configure the DNS, we should specify the NIS server address. Here Automount feature is available. When user tried to login, home directory will automatically mount. The automount service used the /etc/auto.master file. On /etc/auto.master file we specified the mount point the configuration file for mount point.

Question 55

Make on data that only the user owner and group owner member can fully access.

Answer 55

chmod 770 /data Verify using : ls -ld /data Preview should be like: drwxrwx--- 2 root sysadmin 4096 Mar 16 18:08 /data To change the permission on directory we use the chmod command. According to the question that only the owner user (root) and group member (sysadmin) can fully access the directory so: chmod 770 /data

Question 56

Who ever creates the files/directories on a data group owner should automatically be in the same group owner as data.

Answer 56

1. chmod g+s /data 2. Verify using: ls -ld /data Permission should be like this: drwxrws--- 2 root sysadmin 4096 Mar 16 18:08 /data If SGID bit is set on directory then who every users creates the files on directory group owner automatically the owner of parent directory. To set the SGID bit: chmod g+s directory To Remove the SGID bit: chmod g-s directory

Question 57

Your System is going to use as a Router for two networks. One Network is 192.168.0.0/24 and Another Network is 192.168.1.0/24. Both network's IP address has assigned. How will you forward the packets from one network to another network?

Answer 57

echo "1" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward vi /etc/sysctl.conf net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 If you want to use the Linux System as a Router to make communication between different networks, you need enable the IP forwarding. To enable on running session just set value 1 to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward. As well as automatically turn on the IP forwarding features on next boot set on / etc/sysctl.conf file.

Question 58

By default, Redhat Enterprise Linux assigns the /bin/bash shell to the users. To deny the interactive login, you should write /sbin/nologin or / bin/ false instead of login shell.

Question 59

/data Directory is shared from the server1.example.com server. Mount the shared directory that:

Answer 59

1. vi /etc/auto.master /mnt /etc /auto.misc --timeout=50 vi /etc/auto.misc data -rw,soft,intr server1.example.com:/data service autofs restart chkconfig autofs on When you mount the other filesystem, you should unmount the mounted filesystem, Automount feature of linux helps to mount at access time and after certain seconds, when user unaccess the mounted directory, automatically unmount the filesystem. /etc/auto.master is the master configuration file for autofs service. When you start the service, it reads the mount point as defined in /etc/auto.master.

Question 60

One Logical Volume named lv1 is created under vg0. The Initial Size of that Logical Volume is 100MB. Now you required the size 500MB. Make successfully the size of that Logical Volume 500M without losing any data. As well as size should be increased online.

Answer 60

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 file system 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. Verify the size of Logical Volume: lvdisplay /dev/vg0/lv1 Verify the Size on mounted directory: df -h or df -h mounted directory name Use: lvextend -L+400M /dev/vg0/lv1 ext2online -d /dev/vg0/lv1 to bring extended size online. Again Verify using lvdisplay and df -h command.
