RHCSA Rhel 8 Exam

[vandread44]

Hello

I'm about to take the RHCSA exam. I'm pretty confident on passing. I have studied for about a year and learned everything I can about Red Hat on this level. Just had a question about the exam. If the exam is only multi-user.target are you allowed to switch to graphical.target? Or if the gui is not installed are you allowed to install it? Just want to make sure I'm not leaving any stone unturned.

Red hat exams are coming with a gui, usually it's desktop machine with virtual machines manager to control the lab and then you open terminal and connect to the lab servers to perform the tasks.

Good luck.

Regards,

Nir.

Hello Nir ,
Hope you are doing well.
Could you please explain and support me for the below issue i have faced in the exam .
I have performed RHCSA8 exam at 19 of May 2022 and during the exam I faced an issue that makes me unable to solve local storage questions as I couldn’t find any drives to use in Configure local storage .I tried to find them using (lsblk command or lv,vg display command ) , the only info I got the swap partition of the system and boot partition.
For example I got one question to reduce the size of one logical volume named vo but when i run lvdisplay command I couldn’t find this logical volume.
Would you please inform where can I find these drivers required for configuring local storage question in the exam environment as I want to make sure before applying for the exam again.
Thank you

Hi Everybody.

I am about to take this exam, too. I kindly received an email by RH Support communicating the inclusion, starting October 1st this year, of Containers management among the proposed issues.

Despite I am experienced on RHEL, I never worked with Containers, unfortunately.

My exam is scheduled on September, 29. Should I get prepared for questions about this subject?

Could you please suggest any link for appropriate study?

Many thanks.

Bye.

Hi,

@jesopazz 

If you would like to take EX200 RHEL8 without container content, please schedule the exam before October 1st.

So you don't need if your exam is 29th September.

Cheers,

Hope I'll get through this valuable exam!

Bye.

Hi @vandread44 ,

Sorry any candidate can't tell you due to the NDA. What I can say is that it's explained sufficiently during the exam, in the instructions.

Cheers

Does it really matter? You should be able to do the work regardless of the target.

Dear @vandread44 

In my experience, in redhat exams, they are performance-based exams, the configurations that are requested can be carried out through the command line, the graphical interface or if there is a web interface, which red hat asks repeatedly is that the settings are persistent, so do not hesitate to use desktop or cmdline, of course, you can switch between graphic mode to text and text to graphic. Really the value is in the persistence of the configurations.
