  4. Diagnosing and managing processes:

    • Listing running processes: ps aux
    • Killing a process: kill PID
    • Monitoring system resources: top
  5. Configuring networking and hostname resolution:

    • Configuring hostname: hostnamectl set-hostname hostname
  6. Configuring an HTTP server:

    • Installing Apache web server: sudo yum install httpd
    • Starting Apache web server: sudo systemctl start httpd

    • Pulling a Docker image: sudo docker pull image_name
  8. Managing and configuring virtual machines:

    • Installing KVM: sudo yum install qemu-kvm
    • Creating a new virtual machine: virt-install --name vm_name --ram 2048 --disk size=20 --vcpus 2 --cdrom /path/to/iso --graphics vnc
  9. Configuring and managing LVM storage:

    • Creating a physical volume: sudo pvcreate /dev/sdb
    • Creating a volume group: sudo vgcreate vg_name /dev/sdb
    • Creating a logical volume: sudo lvcreate -n lv_name -L 10G vg_name
  10. Managing and configuring file systems:

    • Creating a new file system: sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1
    • Mounting a file system: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
    • Adding an entry to /etc/fstab to mount a file system automatically at boot: /dev/sdb1 /mnt ext4 defaults 0 0

These are just a few examples of the commands and techniques that a prospective RHEL-based LFCS exam taker should have mastered. It's important to note that the exam objectives cover a wide range of topics, and the best way to prepare is to review the objectives thoroughly and practice using the relevant commands and techniques in a lab environment.
