| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the traditional SCSI technology? | Parallel |
| How many devices can most parallel SCSI controllers support? | Up to 15 devices |
| The Computer connected to a remote hard disk via iSCSI is referred to as a(n) | iSCSI initiator |
| The computers that use the same iSCSI target are said to be part of the same | Storage Area Network (SAN) |
| Redundant Array of Independent disks | What is a RAID? |
| RAID 0 | Known as disk striping |
| Useful when you need to speed up disk access, but is not fault tolerant. | Disk striping |
| RAID 1 | Referred to as disk mirroring |
| RAID 5 | is the most common RAID configuration |
| It requires a minimum of three hard disk drives for implementation. | RAID 5 |
| RAID 3 | uses disk striping with a parity bit and requires a minimum of three hard disk drives to function |
| RAID 4 | This level offers greater access speed than RAID # because it can store data in blocks and, thus, does not need to access all disks in the array at once to read data |
| RAID 6 | Adds a second set of parity bits for added fault tolerance and allows up to two simultaneous hard disk drive failures while remaining fault tolerant |
| RAID 0 & 1 | Are handled by software running on an operating system |
| dd command | writes the ISO image to your USB flash memory drive. |
| a script that automates the installation of Linux | kickstart file |
| A distributed filesystem developed by Sun Microsystems that allows computers of differing types to access files shared on the network. | NFS Network File System |
| Computers that use the same iSCSI target are said to be part of the same ___ _____ _______. | Storage Area Network (SAN) |
| RAID configurations can be handled by _______ running on an operating system called _______ RAID. | software, software |
| What is more a more common way RAID is handled within a SCSI or SATA hard disk controller. | hardware |
| RAID configurations can also be handled by the system _______ and are called _______ RAID. | BIOS, Firmware |
| What is the most common installation method for Linux computers? | DVD-based installation |
| Linux installation methods | CD, USB flash drive, hard disk, DVD, and Network-based |
| SCSI-1 (narrow/slow) have ___ pins, speed ___ (MBs) and can support ___ devices. | 50, 5, 7 |
| SCSI-2 (fast) have ___ pins, speed is ___ (MBs), and can support ____ devices. | 50, 10, 7 |
| SCSI-2 (Wide) have ___ pins, speed ___ (MBs) and can support ___ devices. | 68, 20, 15 |
| SCSI-3 (Ultra) have ___ pins, speed ___ (MBs) and can support ___ devices. | 68, 40, 15 |
| SCSI-3 (Ultra2 Wide) have ___ pins, speed ___ (MBs) and can support ___ devices. | 68, 80, 15 |
| SCSI-3 (Ultra3 Wide) have ___ pins, speed ___ (MBs) and can support ___ devices. | 68, 160, 15 |
| SCSI-3 (Ultra320) have ___ pins, speed ___ (MBs) and can support ___ devices. | 68, 320, 15 |
| SCSI-3 (Ultra640) have ___ pins, speed ___ (MBs) and can support ___ devices. | 68, 640, 15 |
| A ___________ file is an installation program that accepts a script file that specifies typical choices when installing the operating system. | kickstart |
| What is the default filename used by the Kickstart Configurator? | ks.cfg |
| The error message "fatal signal 11" is displayed on the screen when an installation ends abnormally. This type of error is known as a _________ _______ and occurs when a program has accessed a certain area of RAM that was not assigned. | segmentation fault |
| An _________ CPU is a CPU that is faster than the speed for which the processor was designed. | overclocked |
| What are the two installation log files created by the Fedora installation program? | /root/install.log and /root/install.log.sys |
| After installation, you can ensure that Linux has detected the correct amount of RAM by viewing the contents of the ________ file. | /proc/meminfo |
| What command can you use after system startup to view the hardware detected during boot time? | dmesg | tail |
| Most Linux distributions contain a small bootable Linux kernel and virtual filesystem that can be loaded into RAM and used to fix problems that prevent Linux from functioning properly or loading at system startup. | System Rescue |
