Advanced Topics of Linux Administration

   Services have to be started automatically. You should not interact with
   booting machine more then is necessary (GRUB, passphrases). Use existing
   /boot and 2nd hard drive. You have to obtain 75% to pass the course. In a
   case when you will obtain 70 to 74% then you can do some auxilliary work
   to pass.

1, Preparation (40%)

     * Install your distribution on physical machine (PM)

     * Make sure that ssh is available from rest of the network

     * Set root password to asdf

     * Create two virtual machines (VM-A, VM-B) and set everything as for PM

     * Run ftp server on each node and put file node into root directory

     * File node should contain identification of machine (so PM, VM-A, VM-B)

     * anonymous access to this file should be allowed

2, Partitioning on PM (15%)

     * Create logical value named lv-first which will have ~100MiB

     * Allocate rest of space to logical volume lv-second so 40 extents will
       be left free for possible extensions

3, Real data storage (25%)

     * Export iSCSI device from PM to VM-B (access from VM-A should be
       forbidden)

     * Mount it on VM-B and create RAID level 1 which will contain iSCSI
       device and local (inside virtual machine) device

4, A bit of security (10%)

     * Create encrypted logical volume on VM-A which will contain file
       password which contains only word quarantine

5, A bit of clustering (10%)

     * Create a GFS filesystem (not too big) on PM

     * Copy image containg this filesystem to VM-B and mount it there
