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
Red Hat skills assessment tool

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.

RHN Satellite Server (spacewalk) repomd.xml not found

"repomd.xml not found" If you add a channel, or if your RHN cache gets corrupted, and one of your guests complains that it cannot find repomd.xml for jb-ews-2-x86_64-server-5-rpm (for example) - you need to rebuild your repodata cache. Normally this is an automated job - which is exemplified by the fact that you have obviously built out your entire Satellite environment and never had to do any of the steps you are about to do. So - some prep work: Open 3 terminals to your Satellite Server and run: # Term 1 cd /var/cache/rhn watch "ls -l | wc -l" # Term 2 pwd cd /var/log/rhn tail -f rhn_taskomatic_daemon.log # Term 3 satellite-sync --channel=jb-ews-2-x86_64-server-5-rpm Once the satellite-sync has completed, you >should< see the count increment by one.  If you are unlucky (like me) you will not. You then need to login to the Satellite WebUI as the satellite admin user. Click on the Admin tab (at the top) Task Schedules (on the left) fin

Install RHEL 7 on old HP DL380 g5

Someone at work had been running RHEL on an HP DL380 G5 and blew it up.  After several attempts at doing an installation that made me conclude the hardware was actually bad... I kept digging for the answer. Attempt install and Anaconda could not find any disks - try a Drivers Disk (dd.img) both cciss and hpsa.   -- once we did that, when the system would reboot it would say it could not find a disk. hmmm. Boot from your installation media and interrupt the startup at grub. Add hpsa.hpsa_allow_any=1 hpsa.hpsa_simple_mode=1 to the line starting with linuxefi press CTRL-X to boot. Once the system restarts after the install, you need to once again interrupt the startup and add the line from above. After the system starts, edit /etc/default/grub and add those 2 parameters to the end of the line starting with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX (which likely has quiet at the end of the line currently). then run # cp /boot/grub2/grub.cfg /boot/grub2/grub.cfg.orig # grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2

MOTD with colors! (also applies to shell profiles)

I'm not sure why I had never looked into this before, but this evening I became obsessed with discovering how to present different colored text in the /etc/motd. A person had suggested creating a shell script (rather than using special editing modes in vi, or something) and I agree that is the simplest way of getting this accomplished quickly. This most noteworthy portion of this script is the following: RESET="\033[0m" that puts the users shell back to the original color. I typically like a green text on black background. Also - a great reference for the different colors and font-type (underscore, etc...) https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Color_Bash_Prompt I found this example on the web and I wish I could recall where so that I could provide credit to that person. #!/bin/bash #define the filename to use as output motd="/etc/motd" # Collect useful information about your system # $USER is automatically defined HOSTNAME=`uname -n` KERNEL=`un
