Preparing for Lab 1

Thinking Ahead

Bring Required Materials to Class

Come prepared for labs:
  • Removable SATA Drive ( min 250 GB )
  • USB Stick ( min 8 GB )
  • CENTOS 7 Full INSTALL DVD
  • Lab 1 Logbook (Instructor can't sign-off lab without seeing lab-book notes)
  • Access to Lab Instructions: printout, notebook, netbook, smartphone

Notes / Warnings

  • Failure to properly following lab instructions may result in re-doing lab again!
  • Hard Disk partitions are simply smaller logical storage units (containers) within a hard disk
  • Advantages of Hard Disk Partitions
  • Separation of operating system files from data (easier recovery)
  • Allows for booting multiple operating systems
  • Separation of Data for efficient access and sharing
  • Make certain to create the correct partitions (Have instructor or lab monitor confirm before proceeding with install):
Primary Partitions (ext4):
  • 30GB for / (i.e. "root")
  • 40GB for /home
  • 100GB for /var/lib/libvirt/images (need to manually enter this "mount-point")
Swap Partition:
  • 16GB (Note: "swap" must be selected from the drop down menu)
NOTE: Remember that the sizes are recorded in MB (eg. 30 GB = 30000 MB) and you should multiply GB by a factor of 1024 to get the correct size.
(eg. 30 GB x 1024 = 30720 MB)
