Red Hat Training Review

The following is my perspective of the Red Hat classes I have taken.  I am very happy with training I have received from Red Hat.  If your goal is to become certified, I highly recommend taking advantage of the courses.  Currently (July 2012) I have successfully completed the RHCSA, RHCE and RHCVA exams.

The most important step is to take advantage of the self-assessment online

RH300 - RHCE Rapid Track Course with RHCSA and RHCE Exams
RH300 - Course Description
RH300 is a fast-paced review over 4 days to prep for the exam.
I felt as though quite a few people who attended this class at the same time as myself did not understand the goal of this particular class.  RH300 is not for the squeamish.  You should NOT hope to learn a lot from this class.   If you are a proficient Linux (read: Red Hat) Administrator and simply need some guidance on what to expect and what to study for, this class is for you.  The RHCE is no joke.  I highly recommend the following book: Michael Jang - RHCSA-RHCE study guide (make sure you get the version which covers RHEL 6).  Review the exam objectives from Red Hat's website.  The test is quite fair, but it may cover topics that you may not use frequently (i.e. SElinux and IPtables, iSCSI)

RH318 - Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHCVA)
RH318 - Course Description
I was quite pleased with the RH318 course.  I had only a few months experience with Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization as I signed up for the Eval of RHEV 3 when it was released (Dec 2011/Jan 2012).  There is quite a bit of material for them to cover and I feel they chose a very relevant design for the class to focus on.

PXE boot a LiveCD image

Summary: I have wanted to build a kickstart environment which hosted a "rescue CD" or LiveCD to allow you to boot over the network after you blew your stuff up and needed to repair a few things.  Today I have worked through a method of doing so, with the help of the people who published a succinct script with the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor.  (the script will be at the bottom of this post - if I have somehow not followed the GPL, please let me know and I will correct whatever is necessary) NOTE/Warning: The boot will fail due the initrd being too large (645mb).  I'm not sure how to proceed.  This procedure worked for RHEVh, because it is quite a bit smaller.  Hopefully I can report back with progress on this? :-$ Procedure: download your LiveCD image to /export/isos/RESCUE/Fedora-16-i686-Live-Desktop.iso # cd /var/tmp # vi livecd-iso-to-pxeboot (populate the file with the script shown below) # chmod 754 ./livecd-iso-to-pxeb...

"Error getting authority: Error initializing authority: Could not connect: No such file or directory (g-io-error-quark, 1)"

"Error getting authority: Error initializing authority: Could not connect: No such file or directory (g-io-error-quark, 1)" One issue that may cause this to arise is if you managed to break your /etc/fstab We had an engineer add a line with the intended options of "nfsvers=3" but instead added "-onfsvers=3" and it broke the system fairly catastrophically.

P2V using dd for KVM-QEMU guest

Preface: I have certainly not exhaustively tested this process.  I had a specific need and found a specific solution that worked. Situation:  I was issued a shiny new laptop running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (with Corp VPN, certs, Authentication configuration, etc...)  The image was great, but I needed more flexibility on my bare metal.  So, my goal was to P2V the corporate image so I could just run it as a VM. * Remove corporate drive and install new SSD * install corp drive in external USB-3 case * Install RHEL 7 on new SSD * dd old drive to a disk-image file in a temp location which will be an image which is the same size as your actual drive (unless you have enough space in your destination to contain a temp and converted image) * convert the raw disk-image to a qcow file while pushing it to the final location - this step should reduce the disk size - however, I believe it will only reduce/collapse zero-byte blocks (not just free space - i.e. if you de...
