1z0-106 Practice Exam Questions with Answers Oracle Linux 8 Advanced System Administration Certification

Option B (Correct):The-Ior--interpretoption inausearchconverts the numerical system call numbers into their corresponding text names, making the output easier to understand.

Option C (Correct):The-scoption specifies the system call by name (mkdir), which helps in finding audit logs related to that particular system call in text format.

Option A, D, E (Incorrect):These options do not specifically translate the numeric system call numbers into human-readable text. OptionAfilters by the numeric ID,Dis an invalid option, andEreverses the search order but does not affect the format.

Option A (Correct):A slice unit in systemd is a grouping mechanism used for hierarchical management of resources (such as CPU, memory, and I/O) among a group of processes.

Options B, C, D (Incorrect):These options do not correctly describe the role or characteristics of slice units in Oracle Linux 8.

Option C (Correct):This command sequence first loads the 802.1q module needed for VLAN tagging, then creates a VLAN interface (eth0.800) on the base interface (eth0), assigns an IP address (10.135.1.120/24), and sets the VLAN interface up.

Option A, B, D (Incorrect):These options have syntactical errors or missing parameters that make them incorrect for setting up a fully functional and accessible VLAN interface.

Explanation of Answer D:Theinitramfs(initial RAM filesystem) is a temporary filesystem loaded into memory during the boot process, containing essential drivers and utilities. The kernel usesinitramfsto load necessary drivers and modules required to access the root file system, particularly if it resides on a disk that requires special drivers.

Explanation of Answer E:Both thevmlinuz(the compressed Linux kernel image) and theinitramfsfile are located in the/bootdirectory. The bootloader, such as GRUB, reads these files from/bootto start the system.

Explanation of Answer E:This option correctly matches the Kubernetes components with their descriptions:

Kubectl- d. Command-line interface used to control Kubernetes

Etcd- f. Stores configuration data relating to the cluster

Kubelet- c. Agent that allows nodes to communicate with the API

Kube-proxy- e. Performs networking functions and routes network traffic

Kube-apiserver- a. Processes and validates requests and performs operations

Kube-scheduler- b. Determines where containers should run based on resource availability

Thednf infocommand provides detailed information about an installed package. When used with the path of a binary (such as/usr/bin/gzip), it shows the package that provides the binary along with detailed information like the version, release, architecture, size, source, repository, summary, URL, and license.

Option A (Correct):A user private group (UPG) ensures that each user has their own unique group created with the same name and ID as the user.

Option E (Correct):The UPG model helps prevent other users from modifying files by default, as newly created files are assigned to the user’s unique group and not to a shared group.

Option B (Incorrect):UPG does not give the capability to create new group users; this is related to group management commands.

Option C (Incorrect):UPG does not providesudocapabilities;sudoconfiguration is managed separately.

Option D (Incorrect):UPGs do not limit reading files to group users by default; it depends on specific file permissions.

Explanation of Answer A:Consistent network device naming is enabled by default in Oracle Linux 8. This feature ensures that network interfaces retain their names across reboots, which is important for maintaining network configuration consistency. This is managed through the Predictable Network Interface Names feature, which is part of thesystemdproject and is implemented inudev.

Explanation of Answer B:Theudevdevice manager is responsible for dynamically managing device nodes in the/devdirectory. It generates network interface names based on several naming schemes, such as the interface’s physical location on the bus (likeenp0s3), MAC address, or other attributes. These schemes are used to provide consistent and predictable names for network interfaces.

Option A (Correct):The configuration lineauthpriv.* /var/log/authwould direct all messages of theauthprivfacility (which includes sensitive authentication messages) to the/var/log/authfile. The log entries provided, which include authentication-related messages from PAM (pam_unix), would be logged due to this setting.

Option B (Incorrect):The*.emerg *setting logs emergency messages to all users, not specifically the provided log output.

Option C (Incorrect):This setting logs various non-authentication-related messages to/var/log/messages. It specifically excludesauthpriv.

Option D (Incorrect):This setting appears to be commented out and incorrect for the logging behavior described.

Option E (Incorrect):Thecron.*setting logs cron messages, unrelated to the provided authentication logs.

Explanation of Answer C:The commanduptrack-remove --allremoves all currently applied Ksplice updates, effectively preventing them from being reapplied upon reboot.

Explanation of Answer E:Creating a file/etc/uptrack/disabledisables Ksplice Uptrack, preventing it from applying any updates at the next system reboot.

Option B (Correct):Thefdisk -lcommand lists information about all available disks, including their sizes, partition tables, and partition details.

Option E (Correct):fdiskcannot handle disks larger than 2 TB because it is limited to the Master Boot Record (MBR) partitioning scheme. To manage larger disks (over 2 TB), the GUID Partition Table (GPT) is required, andfdiskdoes not fully support GPT.

Option A (Incorrect):fdiskdoes not support HFS (Hierarchical File System, used by macOS). It primarily supports MBR and has limited support for GPT.

Option C (Incorrect):fdiskdoes not support partitioning disks larger than 2 TB with GPT;gdiskorpartedshould be used instead.

Option D (Incorrect):fdiskdoes not divide logical devices into block disks called partitions; it operates on physical storage devices to create partitions.

Understanding AutoFS Behavior:

AutoFSautomatically mounts file systems when accessed and unmounts them after a period of inactivity (default is 5 minutes).

A file system remains mounted as long as it isactive, meaning processes are accessing files or directories within it.

Scenario Analysis:

First Session:

Changed to a directory under AutoFS control (mount point is active).

Second Session:

Changed to /etc (does not affect the first session).

Idle Time Expires:

AutoFS checks for idle mounts to unmount.

Implications:

The mount point remainsactivebecause the shell in the first session is in the AutoFS directory.

AutoFS willnotunmount the file system while it is active.

Oracle Linux Reference:

Oracle® Linux 8: Configuring File Systems-Using the Automounter:

"A file system remains mounted as long as there are open files or directories within it."

Correct Options:

Option B:The file system remains mounted until you log out from the first session.

Option E:The file system remains mounted until you switch to a directory outside the current mount point.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

Option A:Incorrect because the mount does not persist indefinitely; it's unmounted when no longer active.

Option C:Incorrect because the mount is still active; the timer does not cause unmounting in this case.

Option D:Incorrect because the second session does not influence the mount status in the first session.

GRUB 2 (GRand Unified Bootloader version 2) is a bootloader that is capable of loading a variety of free operating systems directly. It also supports chain-loading, which is the process of loading other bootloaders. This feature allows it to boot proprietary operating systems, such as Windows, by passing control to their respective bootloaders. This flexibility makes GRUB 2 a popular choice for dual-boot or multi-boot configurations.

Explanation of Answer D:GRUB 2 has the capability to understand multiple file systems (like ext2/3/4, Btrfs, XFS, etc.) and kernel executable formats. This capability means GRUB 2 does not rely on the physical location of a kernel on the disk to load an operating system. Instead, it reads the file system to locate the kernel file. This feature adds flexibility and ease in managing boot entries and reduces the complexity involved in locating kernels manually.
