Answer : 1. use the authconfig --nisserver=192.168.0.254 --nisdomain=rhce.com --update or system-config-authentication 2. Click on Enable NIS rhce.com 4. Type Server 192.168.0.254 then click on next and ok 5. You will get a ok message. 6. vi /etc/auto.master and write at the end of file /home/stationx /etc/auto.home --timeout=60 7. vi /etc/auto.home and write /home/stationx/& please specify your station number in the place of x. 8. Service autofs restart 9. Login as the rhce1 or rhce2 or rhce3 on another terminal will be Success. According to question, rhce.com domain is already configured. We have to make a client of rhce.com domain and automatically mount the home directory on every client. To make a member of domain, we use the autheconfig or system-config-authentication command.

Answer : 1. pvcreate /dev/hda8 /dev/hda9 /dev/hda10 pvdisplay command is used to display the information of physical volume. 2. vgceate test0 /dev/hda8 /dev/hda9 /dev/hda10 vgdisplay command is used to display the information of Volume Group. 3. lvcreate -L 250M -n testvolume1 test0 lvdisplay command is used to display the information of Logical Volume. 4. lvcreate -L 250M -n testvolume2 test0 5. mkfs -t ext3 /dev/test0/testvolume1 6. mkfs -t ext3 /dev/test0/testvolume2 7. mkdir /lvtest1 8. mkdir /lvtest2 9. mount /dev/test0/testvolume1 /lvtest1 10. mount /dev/test0/testvolume2 /lvtest2 11. vi /etc/fstab /dev/test0/testvolume2 /lvtest2 ext3 defaults 0 0 /dev/test0/testvolume1 /lvtest1 ext3 defaults 0 0 To create the LVM( Logical Volume Manager) we required the disks having '8e' Linux Physical Disk1 Logical Volume 1 Physical Disk2 Physical Volum Volume Group Logical Volume 2 Physical Disk3 Logical Volume 3 LVM type. First we should create the physical Volume, then we can create the Volume group from disks belongs to physical Volume. lvcreate command is used to create the logical volume on volume group. We can specify the size of logical volume with -L option and name with -n option.

Answer : 1. lvextend -L+200M /dev/test0/testvolume1 Use lvdisplay /dev/test0/testvolume1) 2. 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.

Answer : 1.Create a partition having size 5 GB and change the syste id '8e'. 2.use partprobe command 3.pvcreate /dev/hda9 Suppose your partition number is hda9. 4.vgextend test0 /dev/hda9 vgextend command add the physical disk on volume group. 5.lvextend -L+5120M /dev/test0/lvtestvolume 6.verify using lvdisplay /dev/test0/lvtestvolume.
