Assessment item 2 back to top Installing and Managing Linux Value: 10% Due Date: 06-Aug-2018 Return Date: 27-Aug-2018 Length: 15 - 20 pages including screenshots Submission method options: Alternative submission method Task back to top The first assignment comprises of a number separate tasks, described as follows. Part 1: Install Linux (2.5 marks) The first step is to create a virtual machine in the hypervisor of your choice running the Ubuntu Server 17.10.1.  You can download this from:  http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/ubuntu/releases/releases/17.10.1/. During the install process, you are to put /home and /var on separate partions. You are not required to install a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) stack. Once the operating system is installed, you are to demonstrate connectivity to the Internet and more importantly update the operating system. You are to document the steps and decisions taken to get the operating system installed on your virtual machine. Where you are required to make a decision you are to explain why. Part 2: Profile the System (2.5 marks) Once you have completed the install, write a script called profiler.sh which obtains information on: 1. current processes running on the system by all users 2. filesystem capacity and utilisation information 3. open network connections 4. users currently logged into the syste This information should be collated and a report produced called report.txt. Each set of information should be proceeded by a header outlining what the information following relates to. You are to document the steps and decisions taken to get the operating system installed on your virtual machine. Where you are required to make a decision you are to explain why. Part 3: Packages and Services (5 marks) The next step is to build, install, configure and run a service, in this case, a lightweight web server 1. install the developer/build tools for your Linux Server install 2. download, install and configure from source the lighthttpd server which can be found at: http://redmine.lighttpd.net. You can use the default options to install and build it. 3. Once installed demonstrate the lighthttpd service running 4. Finally, configure the runtime system (system) such that the service is invoked at boot time automatically. You are to document the steps you took to achieve the desired outcome above and more importantly discuss the challenges you encountered along the way. Rationale back to top This assessment task will assess the following learning outcome/s: · be able to apply technical knowledge to manage servers. · be able to investigate the layout of server file systems. · be able to plan, create and manage information services. · be able to design and write scripts to automate various server management tasks. The assignment is to develop your understanding of how operating systems are installed and managed. In addition to this you will gain some insight into how a system administrator can automate workloads through the development of scripts.
