Sample Question: Part-01

Morning Session – 2 and half hours(Tshooting and Maintenance)

Two Parts:-

Trouble shooting and Maintenance – morning session – duration 2.5 hrs

RHCT and RHCE both combined – afternoon session - duration 3 hrs.

Trouble Shooting and Maintenance :- (Two Phases)

=>Phase One – 8 questions

=>Phase Two – 2 questions

Trouble shooting and Maintenance(Phase 1: 8 Questions)

Q1. Login Problem (Compulsory)

Q2. Configure network settings to specification so that you can ping 192.168.1.254 (Compulsory)

Q3. dig server1.example.com should work properly (Compulsory)

Q4. Successfully login to init 5 as root (Compulsory)

Q5. Resize a 200 MB LVM to a 100 MB LVM without losing data

Q6. User neo should be able to create 30K file but not 70K file (quotas)

Q7. Create 100 MB partition and mount it as /mnt/new. Should work across reboot (Compulsory)

Q8. Showmount –e should show the /export directory as available.

Trouble shooting and Maintenance(Phase 2: Boot Troubleshooting)

Examiner will insert a CD which will perform a very basic installation in text mode. The examiner will then remove the CD and then ask you to reboot. Once you reboot, you will get a kernel panic error. Once you set this right, your system will not boot because it cannot see the LABEL root. You will need to use resuce mode, find the device that has the /etc/fstab file and then modify it in such a way that fstab contains the line LABEL=/ instead of LABEL=root

If the system boots without any problems into runlevel 3, then 20 marks.
If the system boots into maintenance mode, then 10 marks
If the system does not boot at all, then 0 marks

RHCE question overview

RHCE QUESTION SUGGESTIONS

Two Parts:-

Trouble shooting and Maintenance – morning session – duration 2.5 hrs

RHCT and RHCE both combined – afternoon session - duration 3 hrs.

Trouble Shooting and Maintenance :- (Two Phases)

=>Phase One – 8 questions

=>Phase Two – 2 questions

Phase One

1.       Login Problem –

Username: root; Password: redhat

2.       The candidate should able to login with username and password as given above (COMPULSORY)

3.       Your system should able to ping with the given IP (server)

4.       NFS. Showmount command should show the exported directory. (COMPULSORY)

5.       LVM (resizing the logical volume)

6.       Quota (user limit given)

7.       Creating and mounting a new partition (COMPULSORY)

8.       DIG should execute properly, giving you the answer, authority and query section of a given IP (server).

The Compulsory Questions should be completed in one hour of maximum. Failing to do this will disqualify the candidate from continuing the exam. The candidate should report to the examiner as soon as he feels he had completed. Examiner will give the confirmation that he had completed the compulsory question successfully. He can continue with the remaining questions.

Phase Two

The candidate can report to the examiner after completing the phase one questions. However he cannot get the confirmation for the successful completion of remaining (except Compulsory) questions. The examiner will give you a CD which will put your system onto a small installation after typing phase two in the installation screen. After the installation the candidate will be in grub screen asking for OS. When you enter into the OS, Kernel Panic error will occur. The following problems are the components of Phase Two.

Boot Problem (Arguments May be edited in /boot/grub/grub.conf).

fstab Problem ( /etc/fstab file may be edited).

After completing the Trouble Shooting and Maintenance Session the candidate can go for a break.

Note: one cannot go back to Phase one after entering Phase two. Only for the Compulsory questions one can get confirmation. Failing to score 80% will result in losing the certification, but one can go thru’ the other sections of the exam.
