repo for rhce and ex294 exam

RHCE-EX294

The purpose of this repository is to provide both a lab environment and a recap for the RHCE and ex294 exam v9. Similar repositories exist, however I wanted one fully compatible with libvirtd, as opposed to Oracle VirtualBox, which comes with Fedora.

Installation and config for libvirt and fedora to run vagrant

Follow the instructions here

additionally run the following commands:

# so you don't have to type sudo each time for a QEMU system session
$ sudo usermod -aG libvert $USER
# sets libvirt as default vagrant provider
$ echo "export VAGRANT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER=libvirt" >> ~/.bashrc 

Lab Environment

The lab environment consists of repository node, a control node and 4 slave nodes. Control node and slave nodes will install software from the repository node.

hostname	ip address	additional disks
repository	10.0.0.10	NO
control	10.0.0.100	NO
node1	10.0.0.101	400M + 5G
node2	10.0.0.102	400M + 5G
node3	10.0.0.103	NO
node4	10.0.0.104	NO

Provisioning

Make sure that the following env variables are populated:

• RH_SUBSCRIPTION_MANAGER_USER = your redhat user
• RH_SUBSCRIPTION_MANAGER_PW = your redhat account password
• RHEL_ISO_PATH = the full path for thr redhat iso file
• get used to populate the .vimrc file so you can edit playbook files easily

Simply run $ vagrant up
