RedHat EX294 Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) exam for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 Exam Practice Test

Generate a hosts file:

* Download an initial template file hosts.j2 from http://classroom.example.com/

hosts.j2 to

/home/admin/ansible/ Complete the template so that it can be used to generate a file

with a

line for each inventory host in the same format as /etc/hosts:

172.25.250.9 workstation.lab.example.com workstation

* Create a playbook called gen_hosts.yml that uses this template to generate the file

/etc/myhosts on hosts in the dev host group.

* When completed, the file /etc/myhosts on hosts in the dev host group should have a

line for

each managed host:

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4

::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

172.25.250.10 serevra.lab.example.com servera

172.25.250.11 serevrb.lab.example.com serverb

172.25.250.12 serevrc.lab.example.com serverc

172.25.250.13 serevrd.lab.example.com serverd

-----------------------------------------------------------------

while practising you to create these file hear. But in exam have to download as per

questation.

hosts.j2 file consists.

localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4

::1

localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Create a role called sample-apache in /home/sandy/ansible/roles that enables and starts httpd, enables and starts the firewall and allows the webserver service. Create a template called index.html.j2 which creates and serves a message from /var/www/html/index.html Whenever the content of the file changes, restart the webserver service.

Welcome to [FQDN] on [IP]

Replace the FQDN with the fully qualified domain name and IP with the ip address of the node using ansible facts. Lastly, create a playbook in /home/sandy/ansible/ called apache.yml and use the role to serve the index file on webserver hosts.

Create a playbook called hwreport.yml that produces an output file called /root/

hwreport.txt on all managed nodes with the following information:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--> Inventory host name

--> Total memory in MB

--> BIOS version

--> Size of disk device vda

--> Size of disk device vdb

Each line of the output file contains a single key-value pair.

* Your playbook should:

--> Download the file hwreport.empty from the URL http://classroom.example.com/

hwreport.empty and

save it as /root/hwreport.txt

--> Modify with the correct values.

note: If a hardware item does not exist, the associated value should be set to NONE

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

while practising you to create these file hear. But in exam have to download as per

questation.

hwreport.txt file consists.

my_sys=hostname

my_BIOS=biosversion

my_MEMORY=memory

my_vda=vdasize

my_vdb=vdbsize

Create the users in the file usersjist.yml file provided. Do this in a playbook called users.yml located at /home/sandy/ansible. The passwords for these users should be set using the lock.yml file from TASK7. When running the playbook, the lock.yml file should be unlocked with secret.txt file from TASK 7.

All users with the job of 'developer' should be created on the dev hosts, add them to the group devops, their password should be set using the pw_dev variable. Likewise create users with the job of 'manager' on the proxy host and add the users to the group 'managers', their password should be set using the pw_mgr variable.

Create a file called requirements.yml in /home/sandy/ansible/roles a file called role.yml in /home/sandy/ansible/. The haproxy-role should be used on the proxy host. And when you curl http://node3.example.com it should display "Welcome to node4.example.com" and when you curl again "Welcome to node5.example.com" The php-role should be used on the prod host.

Install and configure ansible

User bob has been created on your control node. Give him the appropriate permissions on the control node. Install the necessary packages to run ansible on the control node.

Create a configuration file /home/bob/ansible/ansible.cfg to meet the following requirements:

* The roles path should include /home/bob/ansible/roles, as well as any other path that may be required for the course of the sample exam.

* The inventory file path is /home/bob/ansible/inventory.

* Ansible should be able to manage 10 hosts at a single time.

* Ansible should connect to all managed nodes using the bob user.

Create an inventory file for the following five nodes:

nodel.example.com

node2.example.com

node3.example.com

node4.example.com

node5.example.com

Configure these nodes to be in an inventory file where node1 is a member of group dev. nodc2 is a member of group test, nodc3 is a member of group proxy, nodc4 and node 5 are members of group prod. Also, prod is a member of group webservers.

Create Logical volumes with lvm.yml in all nodes according to following

requirements.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Create a new Logical volume named as 'data'

* LV should be the member of 'research' Volume Group

* LV size should be 1500M

* It should be formatted with ext4 file-system.

--> If Volume Group does not exist then it should print the message "VG Not found"

--> If the VG can not accommodate 1500M size then it should print "LV Can not be

created with

following size", then the LV should be created with 800M of size.

--> Do not perform any mounting for this LV.
