How to prepare LUKS enabled Fedora CSB laptop for Red Hat Remote Lab

[perimaru]

Hello Community members,

I am looking for the steps to prepare LUKS enabled Fedora CSB laptop and make it ready for Red Hat Remote Exam. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated?

Note: I followed the well-written document/book - https://learn.redhat.com/t5/Certification-Resources/Getting-Ready-for-your-Red-Hat-Remote-Exam/ba-p/... but no luck.

Thanks for your precious time and continuous support.

Thank you for your post.

From your description, I understand that you want to prepare an environment on your laptop to take a Red Hat remote exam.

For Red Hat remote exams, a custom version of Fedora installed on a USB memory stick is used as the exam environment. The LUKS mentioned in your post is likely configured for the operating system installed on the internal drive of your laptop—does that seem correct?

If this is the case, you should be able to boot the exam environment by installing the exam OS onto an external removable USB memory stick.

One thing to note is that the exam OS requires BIOS boot to function.

In secure environments using LUKS, there is a possibility that your system is configured for UEFI boot and Secure Boot. If that is the case, you may need to temporarily disable UEFI boot and Secure Boot in your BIOS settings to successfully boot the exam OS media.

I hope this information helps. If you continue to experience issues, please capture the details (such as screenshots of the problem) and share them here so that we can provide further assistance.
