For servera, it includes questions about configuring the network and hostname, YUM repositories, SELinux, user accounts, cron jobs, directories, NTP, AutoFS, ACLs, finding/copying files, backups, and more. For serverb, it involves resetting the root password, YUM repos, logical volume resizing, swap/LVM partitioning, Stratis/VDO configuration, tuned profiles, containers, and journal configuration. The exam involves tasks across multiple technologies like networking, storage, security, users/groups and more.

hostname: servera.lab.example.com (172.25.250.10)


hostname: serverb.lab.example.com (172.25.250.11)

● You will be given by 2 VMs


● Total number of Questions will be around 22
● In one system root password is already set ( no need to reset ) but in second system
password need to be recovered.
● In your both system root passwd is "trootent"
● In one system Network configuration is required but in another one networking is already
done
● NTP need to be configured in only one system ( not in both )
● YUM Repo need to configured in both systems.
● There is not any Q to configure LDAP Client ( it is already configured ).
● You just need to configure automounting for LDAP user's Home DIR in one system. (
follow same steps as RHEL-7 )
● Firewall and SELinux both will be pre-enabled.

Node1: root steps


----------------
# useradd user1
# passwd user1
# yum module install container* -y
# ll /var/log/
# vim /etc/systemd/journald.conf
[Journal]
Storage=persistent
:wq!
/run/log
# systemctl restart systemd-journald
# ll /run/log
# ll /var/log/
# su - user1
# mkdir /home/user1/container-logserver/
# exit
# cp -r /var/log/journal/ /home/user1/container-logserver/
# chown -R user1:user1 /home/user1/container-logserver/
# systemctl restart systemd-journald
# reboot

after bootup do ssh to user1 and continue:


# ssh ​[email protected]

#22
● Configure your host journal to store all journal across reboot
● Copy all *.journal from /var/log/journal and all subdirectories to
/home/Walhalla/container_logserver
● Configure automount​ /var/log/journal​ from ​logserver​ (container) to
/home/walhalla/container_logserver​ when container starts.
node1:user1 steps
----------------
# podman login regisrty.redhat.io
# username:
# password:
# podman search rsyslog
# podman pull registry.redhat.io/rhel8/rsyslog
# podman image list
# podman run -d --name logserver -v /home/user1/container-logserver:/var/log/journal:Z
registry.redhat.io/rhel8/rsyslog
# podman container list
# podman ps
# mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user
# cd .config/systemd/user/
# loginctl enable-linger
# loginctl show-user user1
# podman generate systemd --name logserver -f -n
# systemctl --user daemon-reload

'in this step, we went to host and one time we rebooted it'
# systemctl --user enable --now container-logserver.service
# systemctl --user start --now container-logserver.service
# systemctl --user status --now container-logserver.service
# podman exec -it logserver /bin/bash
# ls /var/log/
