RH 124 Chapter 9 lab

Latest response

I am doing RH124, chapter 9's lab. What is the password for the visitor account?
I changed the password, but still cant pass the lab.

I have a one year subscription. Is my lab time limited or unlimited?

I see 80 hour lab limit per course and 400 for the year, so that looks good. Where can I find printable student guides for the courses that I am doing (RH124, RH134)? Assuming I succeed, how much total time does it typically take to get the RHCSA certification? My SWAG is 260 hours over 3 months.

James,

The amount of time it takes someone to go through the necessary available courses for RHCSA depends wildly of course on each student's current experience/knowledge and ability to use that in a practical non-multiple-choice test. I don't mean to be the master of the obvious there.

To get a printable student guide, (some have guides, some don't I believe), there are two methods, both work for whatever course. We'll use the RH134 course for example

Method 1 to download any given book

  • Go to the video version, click on the "Video Classroom" (red box) for instance for RH134.
  • Wait for the compulsory initial video to go by, takes about less than a minute
  • On the top right of the video you will see some icons. Look for the icon at top right, the one that resembles a book. To the left of the book icon is a triangle icon. To the right of the book icon is an icon that resembles a bookmark. Click the book icon.
  • Once you click on the book icon described in the previous step, a drop-down menu ought to appear, select the language you wish. After you select the language, a pop-up should appear and it may take a moment for the window to produce what looks like a scroll-able book. You can within that window download the book

Method 2 to download any given book

  • Go to the link for RH134 named "Online Training" (red box)
  • You will see a small download icon/image, it is to the right of the words "RH134 Red Hat System Administration II", find that icon and click it
  • Select the language you wish as a result from the step directly above
  • Enter your first and last name, select "Confirm and Download" and on my computer as I did this, it produced a new window with a downloadable pdf file.

Go through the material and labs repeatedly, people learn by doing, so if you find a topic that's tough, go through it repeatedly.

Regarding your question of the password for the visitor account, in my online material, in the lab named "Lab: Configuring and Securing OpenSSH Service" the material in the first few lines of the beginning of the lab has the password. In the pdf file for course 124 that I just now downloaded, the password for the visitor account is is on page 222 near the top.

Your last question, lab time is limited. See the other thread about 80 hours per course.

Last note, if you have trouble with any labs or virtual systems, your Red Hat Learning subscription is a supported product and you can submit cases with Red Hat, and community support for issues you may face may not be the best avenue for resolution as the experiences of one customer may not carry over to another.

If you end up having to submit a case, here's how to do so:

  • Go to this link: https://access.redhat.com/support/cases/, which is at the top of this page too, named SUPPORT CASES.
  • In the Product drop down, select: Red Hat Online Learning (NOTE: You will need to scroll down through a list in the drop-down menu)
  • Important, in the Product Version drop down, select the largest number (as I type this, it is 1.0, but that may change over time) NOTE: the "Submit" button won't activate until this is selected.
  • In the Case Type drop down, select: Other
  • In the Problem Statement block, enter something concise, the course number, and a small description.
  • In the Case Description block, enter the specifics.

The other blocks are straightforward enough. When I've submitted a ticket for Red Hat Online Learning, I make it a low priority, it certainly is not production. One of the course administrators does on occasion check the forum, but you ought to submit a ticket for this issue since this is supported.

The Training Principal Product Manager also highly recommends submitting a case for this, as the experiences of one customer in resolution may not necessarily work with another (paraphrasing) see this link, it leads to his comments Also examine the Red Hat course updates page at https://access.redhat.com/discussions/3344631. for up to the date info they post.

James,

Because online training is self-paced, it's hard to put a number on how long each individual would take to complete a class. But the Online Training materials are very similar to the materials used for Instructor Led Training. The prose in the book is identical, but if you go with an "Online Training" modality where there are screencast videos or "Video Classroom" where we have an instructor perform their presentations like they would in the classroom is where things vary a bit.

For RH124, that's a 5 day Instructor Led Training class. When I was teaching this, we started at 9:00 in the morning and finished up at 4:30 or 5:00 every evening with 30 to 45 minutes for lunch. So ... 7 hours a day with breaks and the like? That's 35 hours of total classroom time. But between lecture and lab, labs is probably 15-20 hours of that total.

RH134 is a 4 day Instructor Led Training class. I ran it the same hours, so a total of 28 classroom hours, and probably 12-16 hours of lab time as part of that 28 hour total.

I would be onsite and available an hour before class and an hour after class, but not very many students joined me outside of official class hours.

The online class worked well for me. I worked through RH124 in 40 hours. I am now doing the labs only (2 hours daily) to build proficiency before I move to RH134. Thanks for the reply.
