Hi Certdepot,
Do you know any testing center in U.A.E Dubai or Pakistan for RHCSA ex200? I cannot find any useful information about them on RedHat website. In Pakistan, their examiners are not coming in near future.
Do you have any info about Dubai?
No, I haven’t got any information about Dubai or Pakistan.
I advise you to call Red Hat representatives.
When you post the RHCSA7 Task of the day, do you provide the correct way to complete the task somewhere?
Answers are available through the website.
Wanted to share how I locked myself
out and none of the described methods
worked any longer.
However, the account is unlocked again
when I mixed both methods this way:
* interrupt grub with the ‘e’
* change kernel line, doing both:
– rhgb quiet => init=/bin/sh
– appending ‘enforcing=0’
* mount -o remount,rw /
* passwd root
* mount -o remount,ro /
* exec /sbin/init
* login to multiuser level
* setenforce 1
HTH someone

Hi Certdepot Team,
First I would like to thank you for the wonderful work you guys doing here.
And I need to know one thing. I actually thought of writing the RHCSA and RHEL. I want to know that once fee is paid when do I get the exam scheduled. Why I am asking this question is that so that I can plan on my exam within the due date.
You need to call a Red Hat representative to arrange the payment and the date of the exam.
Hi, I want to prepare for the exam also but I can’t get a link to download rhel7 and I am wondering if it’s possible for me to learn with CentOS.
If any one has the link to download the iso it would be so helpful.
You can get a free Red Hat license and download the DVD iso here.
You can also download a copy of CentOS here.
Both options are fine, CentOS being a recompiled version of RHEL with trademarks removed and some hardware drivers added.
Thanks, I am downloading the RHEL now. Any link to get free books to start with?
Go to the free RHEL 7 resources page, you will find some guides.
Good morning, where do I find the answers to the task of the day ? Thank you
The answers are documented throughout the various tutorials but there isn’t a specific location.
I failed the RHCSA exam twice and I am planning on sitting for it a third time. My problem seems to be the software repository question. It’s a question I know how to do but I am wondering if the link provided is faulty. I copied it exactly as given after typing yum-config-manager –add-repo but it doesn’t work. As a result I am unable to answer the other questions due to a lack of packages. Does anyone else have an issue with the URL provided on the software repository question of the RHCSA exam?
Have you tried creating a .repo file? That’s probably the easiest way of doing it. Give it a go.
In addition to Lisenet.
When you setup the Test OS. Delete the .repo files and write them from scratch. Practice this, and check for errors. I would suggest using your own local Repository, not connected to the internet. Certdepot has a tutorial on this using http (I use a local ftp repo).
Agreed. There are many ways of practising this one, you can get a Spacewalk server up if you wish, you can use a locally mounted DVD etc. As long as you know how to write a .repo file, it doesn’t matter that much where a repository is located (ftp/http/file/etc).
Hello
New member here.
I would like to know what is the new RHEL version the RHCSA exam is using.
Thanks
Nothing official but you can expect RHEL 7.0 or RHEL 7.1.
Thought I’d mention that Red Hat UK confirmed that my RHCE in March will be on 7.3.
Very interesting. Thanks.
I sat the exam and it wasn’t 7.3 but 7.0. Really quite cross that I was misinformed and I’ll follow up with RH.
I’m sorry if you felt misinformed but only RedHat knows the RHEL version of the exam that you will take: we only report the information we get from other candidates.
I asked the RH Certification Team about a month ago about the version used, they said 7.3! Not your fault!
The same thing happened to me twice, software versions that RH told me would be used in exams didn’t actually match. Take RH words with a grain of salt, and don’t trust them too much on this particular point.
This is excellent news!
Hi,
When we mount a filesystem persistently in /etc/fstab,
I see a lot of people mentioning the UUID for the RHCSA exam. Can’t we just add using the device name? Like this:
/dev/sdb1 /mnt ext4 defaults 0 0
Or does the exam require to use UUID?
When you mount a filesystem persistently in /etc/fstab, it is a good practice to use the UUID because the device name can change between reboot.
As the RHCSA exam is all about best practices, you should also use UUID during the exam.
CertDepot has a really good point about best practices which you should stick to during the exam, however, you are free to use a device name if you want to as long as it works.
Hey Certdepot,
Thanks for sharing the information and instructions. Today I passed the RHCSA Exam with 233/300. I’m confident that I fulfilled 16/18 tasks and 2 for 50%. Only 233 points, at least got the certificate! Thanks!
Congratulations!
I’m not sure where to post this question, but I feel it’s an important one (to me, at least).
I know we will be working with RedHat VMs, but which installation are the VMs? I’m not talking about RHEL version, and I don’t care if they’re CLI only, but the “minimal installation” is missing a lot of the TAB completion functionality that I’m relying on pretty heavily in my studies.
I’d be grateful to know. Thanks.
Don’t use the minimal installation! Use the DVD iso.
I kind of figured that was the case. Thanks for confirming it. I thought it would be fun to play with the min install, so I opened a VM. It wasn’t as fun as I thought it would be
yum install bash-completion
Log off and log back in should do it. Other useful package for the minimal install are
vim locate vim-syntax
note using a different version of linux there may be differences
