RHCSA Notes (Work in Progress) RHEL 7 EX200

Wanted a place to store my RHCSA Notes.  This is from a test from the book:  "RHCSA & RHCE Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7: Training and Exam Preparation Guide (EX200 and EX300), Third Edition" http://amzn.to/1K2Yg14 (Kindle) / http://amzn.to/1WAsvl0 (Paperback).  I've been very happy with the book.

-Passwd: Temp123$
-Mary/Barry expire Dec 31 2017
-Larry/Gary 2nd group dba, create it not there

Q: Create a directory in mary’s home directory called testdir2 and set default ACLs on it so barry can read and write to that folder. 
A:  -First you need to give barry rx to mary’s home directory.  
-chmod -R 705 /home/mary
-setfacl -m d:u:barry:rw testdir2
-verify with getfacl testdir2
-su - barry
-cd /home/mary/testdir2
-Note: doesn’t work if you use setfacl-m u:barry:rw testdir2

Q: Setup yum repo using ftp
A: -yum install vsftpd
-systemctl enable vsftpd
-systemctl restart vsftpd
-mkdir /var/ftp/pub/rhel7
-cp /cd /var/ftp//pub/rhel7
-Create ftp.repo in /etc/yum.repo.d/
-[ftp] name=ftp repo baseurl=ftp://x.x.x.x/rhel7 
-Might have to change permissions on directory to 755 if it can’t be read
-Also test ftp by going to address in firefox

Q: Create a logical volume called linuxadm of size equal to 10 LEs in vgtest volume group (create vgtest with PE size 32MB) with mount point /mnt/ linuxadm and xfs file system structures. Create a file called linuxadmfile in the mount point. Set the file system to automatically mount at each system reboot.
A: -lsblk shows the current structure

Create group folder all new files must be created with set group
A: chmod g+s dir

Q: Create a logical volume called linuxadm of size equal to 10 LEs in vgtest volume group (create vgtest with PE size 32MB) with mount point /mnt/ linuxadm and xfs file system structures. Create a file called linuxadmfile in the mount point. Set the file system to automatically mount at each system reboot.

A: fidsk /device
n for new partition
t for the new type which is 8e
w to write the partition
either reboot or type part probe

lsblk
pvcreate /dev/***
pvs
when creating volume group set the extent size
vgcreate -s 8m vgname /dev/*** (Sets the physical extents)
lvcreate -l 8 (lowercase l sets extents)
lvcreate -L 10M (capital L sets in MB/GB)
Full Command:
lvcreate -l —name lv_name vg_name
mkfs.filesystem /dev/mount point

Q: Add swap 50MB
lvcreate -L 50M lv_swap vgtest
lvdisplay
mkswap /dev/vgtest/lv_swap
swapon /dev/vgtest/lv_swap
swapon -s

*to show all UUID run blkid
*find specific UUID blkid “lvm path”

Q: increase size by 45MB
A: lvresize -L+45M -r /dev/mapper/name

Q: change the hostname to rhcsa
A: hostnamectl set-hostname rhcsa

—Test2——

-useradd terry -s /bin/false
-useradd mary
-passwd jerry; passwd terry; passwd mary

Q: Create a file called testfile as user jerry in his home directory and give user mary read and execute rights, and user terry no permissions at all. Make sure that existing rights on the file are unaltered.
A: cd /home/jerry/

-setfacl -m u:mary:rw testfile
-setfacl -m u:terry:--- testfile
-su - mary 
-more /home/jerry/testfile

A: chmod g+s /linuxadm

Q:Create a logical volume lvol1 of size 100MB in vg02 volume group with mount point /mnt/ lvol1 and ext4 file system structures. Create a file called lvolfile in the mount point. (Help)
A: fidsk /device
-n for new partition
-t for the new type which is 8e
-w to write the partition
-either reboot or type part probe

-pvcreate /dev/sda3
-vgcreate vg02 /dev/sda3
-lvcreate --name lvol1 -L 100M vg02

-vim /etc/fstab
/dev/vg02/lvol1 /mnt/lvol1 ext4 defaults 0 0
