1z0-106 Practice Questions

Explanation of Answer B:When executingnmcli con mod ens4 ipv4.method auto, theipv4.methodparameter is set toauto, which configures the interface to obtain its IP address using DHCP. This means that theBOOTPROTOvalue in the configuration is set todhcp.

Explanation of Answer D:Whenipv4.methodis set toauto(DHCP), any static IP address specified inIPADDRis considered null because the interface will now obtain its IP address from a DHCP server, making the manually set IP address irrelevant.

Option B (Correct):Container applications are dependent on the host operating system's kernel because containers share the OS kernel, unlike virtual machines, which use a hypervisor. Compatibility of the host OS kernel version is required to run containers.

Option D (Correct):Podman, Buildah, and Skopeo are container tools for managing container applications. Podman runs containers without requiring a daemon like Docker, Buildah is used to build container images, and Skopeo is used for transferring container images. These tools can operate independently of one another, providing a flexible and modular approach to container management on Oracle Linux.

Option A (Incorrect):Container applications built on bare metal can run on virtual machines or cloud instances as long as the environment supports the container runtime.

Option C (Incorrect):Containers do not package the entire runtime stack; they include the application and its dependencies but rely on the host OS for the kernel.

Option E (Incorrect):Podman does not require a running daemon; one of its advantages over Docker is that it can run containers in rootless mode without needing a persistent daemon.

Explanation of Answer A:Thenmcli con addcommand is used to create a new network connection namedeth2. The parameters specify the connection type (ethernet), the interface name (ifname eth2), and the connection name (con-name eth2), creating a new configuration for theeth2interface.

Explanation of Answer C:Theipv4.addressparameter assigns a static IPv4 address (192.168.0.5/24) to theeth2connection. Therefore, the connection will have this static IP once created.

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 logrotate:

The logrotate utility manages log files by rotating, compressing, and removing them based on configuration.

It helps prevent log files from consuming excessive disk space.

Option A: Rotating Log Files as Specified

Explanation:

logrotate rotates logs according to the specified criteria (size, time interval).

Rotation involves renaming the current log file and starting a new one.

Oracle Linux Reference:

Oracle® Linux 8: Managing Log Files-Using logrotate:

"The logrotate utility simplifies the administration of log files by automatically rotating, compressing, and removing log files."

Option C: Compressing Log Files

Explanation:

logrotate can compress old log files after rotation to save disk space.

Compression is typically done using gzip.

Oracle Linux Reference:

Oracle® Linux 8: Managing Log Files-Configuring logrotate:

"You can configure logrotate to compress rotated log files by using the compress option."

Explanation of Answer D:The/etc/login.defsfile in Oracle Linux contains configuration settings related to user account policies, including password aging controls. This includes settings such asPASS_MAX_DAYS,PASS_MIN_DAYS, andPASS_WARN_AGE, which define the maximum number of days a password is valid, the minimum number of days between password changes, and the number of days before password expiration to warn users, respectively.

Explanation of Answer E:The/etc/login.defsfile also contains settings for the encryption method used to encrypt user passwords. TheENCRYPT_METHODparameter specifies the hashing algorithm, such as SHA512, that is used to encrypt user passwords stored in/etc/shadow.

Explanation of Answer A:Oracle Linux 8 uses cgroups version 2 (cgroups v2) by default. cgroups v2 is a unified hierarchy system that introduces improvements over version 1, including a simplified interface and better resource management capabilities.

Explanation of Answer B:A control group (cgroup) is a mechanism for grouping processes and setting limits or parameters on their resource usage, such as CPU, memory, or I/O. These limits and parameters are configured and managed through the cgroups filesystem.

Option D: anacron jobs may run only once a day.

Explanation:

Anacronis designed for systems that are not running continuously (e.g., desktops or laptops that may be powered off at night). It ensures that scheduled tasks are executed at the specified intervals.

Anacron jobs are defined with periods indays. The minimal unit of time for scheduling in Anacron isone day. Therefore, Anacron can schedule jobs to runonce a dayat most.

It is not intended for tasks that need to run multiple times per day.

Oracle Linux Reference:

Oracle® Linux 8: Scheduling Tasks- Section onAnacron Configuration Files:

"Anacron is used to run commands periodically with a frequency specified in days."

Option E: anacron jobs are used to run cron jobs if the system was powered off when they were scheduled to run.

Explanation:

Anacron complements Cron by ensuring thatscheduled jobs are not missedif the system is powered off or in standby mode at the time they were supposed to run.

When the system boots up, Anacron checks for any scheduled jobs that did not run and executes them accordingly.

This is particularly useful for laptops or desktops that are not always on.

Oracle Linux Reference:

Oracle® Linux 8: Scheduling Tasks- Section onUnderstanding Anacron:

"Anacron is designed to run commands periodically with specified frequency, but unlike cron, it does not assume that the system is running continuously."

Why Other Options Are Not Correct:

Option A:cron jobs may run only once a minute.

Explanation:

Cron allows scheduling tasks with a minimum granularity ofone minute. However, this means that tasks can be scheduled to runevery minute, not limited to only once a minute.

Multiple cron jobs can be scheduled to run at the same minute.

Therefore, the statement is misleading; cron jobs can runas frequently as every minute, but notonly once a minute.

Option B:All crontabs are held in the /etc/cron.d directory.

Explanation:

The /etc/cron.d directory is used for system-wide cron jobs provided by packages or administrators.

User-specific cron jobs are stored in /var/spool/cron/ or managed via the crontab command and not placed in /etc/cron.d.

Additionally, the system crontab file is /etc/crontab, and there are also directories like /etc/cron.hourly, /etc/cron.daily, etc.

Option C:The crond daemon looks for jobs only in /etc/crontab.

Explanation:

The crond daemon checks multiple locations for scheduled jobs:

User crontabs managed via the crontab -e command (stored in /var/spool/cron/).

System-wide crontab file (/etc/crontab).

The /etc/cron.d/ directory.

The /etc/cron.hourly/, /etc/cron.daily/, /etc/cron.weekly/, and /etc/cron.monthly/ directories.

Therefore, crond does not look for jobsonlyin /etc/crontab.

Conclusion:

OptionsDandEare correct because they accurately describe the characteristics and purposes of Anacron in the context of scheduling tasks on an Oracle Linux system.

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.
