Create a playbook called issue.yml in /home/sandy/ansible which changes the file /etc/issue on all managed nodes: If host is a member of (lev then write "Development" If host is a member of test then write "Test" If host is a member of prod then write "Production"

Correct Answer:

Solution as:

Create Logical volumes with lvm.yml in all nodes according to following
requirements.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Create a new Logical volume named as 'data'
* LV should be the member of 'research' Volume Group
* LV size should be 1500M
* It should be formatted with ext4 file-system.
--> If Volume Group does not exist then it should print the message "VG Not found"
--> If the VG can not accommodate 1500M size then it should print "LV Can not be
created with
following size", then the LV should be created with 800M of size.
--> Do not perform any mounting for this LV.

Create a jinja template in /home/sandy/ansible/ and name it hosts.j2. Edit this file so it looks like the one below. The order of the nodes doesn't matter. Then create a playbook in /home/sandy/ansible called hosts.yml and install the template on dev node at /root/myhosts

Correct Answer:

Solution as:

Install and configure Ansible on the control-node control.realmX.example.com as
follows:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--> Install the required packages
--> Create a static inventory file called /home/admin/ansible/inventory as follows:
node1.realmX.example.com is a member of the dev host group
node2.realmX.example.com is a member of the test host group
node3.realmX.example.com & node4.realmX.example.com are members of the prod
host group
node5.realmX.example.com is a member of the balancers host group.
prod group is a member of the webservers host group
--> Create a configuration file called ansible.cfg as follows:
--> The host inventory file /home/admin/ansible/inventory is defined
--> The location of roles used in playbooks is defined as /home/admin/ansible/ roles

In /home/sandy/ansible/ create a playbook called logvol.yml. In the play create a logical volume called Iv0 and make it of size 1500MiB on volume group vgO If there is not enough space in the volume group print a message "Not enough space for logical volume" and then make a 800MiB Iv0 instead. If the volume group still doesn't exist, create a message "Volume group doesn't exist" Create an xfs filesystem on all Iv0 logical volumes. Don't mount the logical volume.

Topic 1, LAB SETUP
You will need to set up your lab by creating 5 managed nodes and one control node.
So 6 machines total. Download the free RHEL8 iso from Red Hat Developers website.
***Control node you need to set up***
You need to create some static ips on your managed nodes then on the control node set them up in the
/etc/hosts file as follows:
vim /etc/hosts
10.0.2.21 node1.example.com
10.0.2.22 node2.example.com
10.0.2.23 node3.example.com
10.0.2.24 node4.example.com
10.0.2.25 node5.example.com
yum -y install ansible
useradd ansible
echo password | passwd --stdin ansible
echo "ansible ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
su - ansible; ssh-keygen
ssh-copy-id node1.example.com
ssh-copy-id node2.example.com
ssh-copy-id node3.example.com
ssh-copy-id node4.example.com
ssh-copy-id node5.example.com
***Each manage node setup***
First, add an extra 2GB virtual harddisk to each control node 1,2,3. Then add an extra hard disk to control
node 4. Do not add an extra hard disk to node 5. When you start up these machines the extra disks should be
automatically located at /dev/sdb (or /dev/vdb depending on your hypervisor).
useradd ansible
echo password | passwd --stdin ansible
echo "ansible ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL" > /etc/sudoers.d/ansible
Note python3 should be installed by default, however if it is not then on both the control node and managed
nodes you can install it also set the default python3 if you are having trouble with python2 being the default.
yum -y install python3
alternatives --set python /usr/bin/python3
All machines need the repos available. You did this in RHSCA. To set up locally you just need to do the same
for each machine. Attach the rhel8 iso as a disk to virtualbox, kvm or whatever hypervisor you are using (this
will be /dev/sr0). Then inside the machine:
mount /dev/sr0 to /mnt
Then you will have all the files from the iso in /mnt.
mkdir /repo
cp -r /mnt /repo
vim /etc/yum.repos.d/base.repo
Inside this file:
[baseos]
name=baseos
baseurl=file:///repo/BaseOS
gpgcheck=0
Also the appstream
vim /etc/yum.repos.d/appstream.repo
Inside this file:
[appstream]
name=appstream
baseurl=file:///repo/AppStream
gpgcheck=0
