- Welcome to SysAdmin Hellweek
- #=======================================================================================================================
- You are a consultant hired to help customer Idiot Corp who sometimes run into issues with their systems.
- Two servers are generally in play:
- lab-sysadminserver.xxx.yyy.net (This is the server you will access. It is owned by Idiot Corp and sometimes it experiences issues)
- lab-sysadminclient.xxx.yyy.net (This client-server will generate traffic towards the sysadminserver in some of the labs)
- - Only the sysadminserver is accessible. Do not connect to the client server.
- - Do not change anything on sysadminserver. Do not reboot, modify, restart services etc.
- Regard it as a read-only server as to not mess things up for other participants.
- Connect to server:
- ssh -oStrictHostKeyChecking=no -oUserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null xxx.yyy.net
- Password: iAnalyzeBeforeGoogling
- == Important:
- - Do not google for the symptoms or errors you see. You would be cheating yourself of an important learning opportunity by googling the fix.
- - Do not collaborate with anyone, again, it's important to realize what you yourself know/don't know.
- - When you encounter an error, think carefully of what might cause it and work to validate if your assumption of
- cause is accurate. Collect data on it and analyze the data.
- == Answer submission
- == Submit a short answer to the instructor in private in the following format:
- * What is the problem?
- -
- * How did you reach this conclusion? What commands were used?
- -
- * If you collected any data, which part of the data showed the problem?
- -
- * Is there a fix, if so what?
