{{Admon/important|This is NOT Assignment 1 Part 1!|This is the '''ROUGH WORK''' for Murray Saul's section for OPS335 Assignment 1 - Part 1. These assignment specifications are NOT complete. <br><br>Once the assignment specifications are ready, then a link will appear in the [https://wiki.cdot.senecacollege.ca/wiki/OPS335 Main OPS335 WIKI] .}}<br><br>
 
== Purpose ==
xFor this portion of assignment 1, you will set up the basic functionality for a virtual machine to act as a '''cloning-source''' to make it easier for the student to create other servers (VMs) in later assignments. Whenever you clone another server (in later assignments), you MUST make certain to configure the cloned server in order to make it function in the network correctly and meet the requirements of future assignments. All of the assignments for this course are '''<u>interdependent</u>''' of each other and belong to the same Virtual Private Network called '''335assign'''.
== General Requirements ==
'''Weight''': 103% of the overall grade '''Due Date''': During Week 6 (in class)
'''Due Date''': During Week 5 (in class)
== Detailed Requirements ==
 === Set-up a Virtual Network (335assign) ===
Create a new virtual network on your Host Machine.
* Assign a newly-created virtual network the name: '''asg1net335assign''', and set '''forwarding to any physical device'''<br>(refer to [http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/OPS335_Installation_Lab#INVESTIGATION_2:_VIRTUAL_MACHINE_INSTALLATION lab setup]. You can have have 2 different network names: "asg1net335assign" and "ops335" without causing any problems).* Addresses in this network will start with '''10172.161''' followed by the ''30.20'last two digits of your student number''' (just as your main virtual network). The subnet mask must be '''255.255.255.0'''
* There must '''<u>NOT</u>''' be a DHCP server running for this network!
* All the machines for this assignment will be connected to your newly-created virtual network called: '''asg1net335assign''' === Create a "Cloning-Source" VM (335assign Virtual Network) === Create a virtual machine that you will use as a cloning-source. Details for the cloning-source #The name of this cloning-source VM will be called: '''seedling'''.#You should use the options that you used in your lab1 to setup the static network, plus you should use the DOMAIN parameter to set the '''coniferous.trees.ops''' domain for your cloning-source.#The VM should have a command-line interface only.#Configure it to be a good cloning-source, '''making certain that the cloning-source has all the following elements prior to cloning:'''::*Don't make the virtual drive too big: you will need space for it as well as space for the clones you from your cloning-source<br>('''2GB''' should be enough for any cloning-source and clone VM that you create for this assignment).::*The hostname for this server will be called: '''seedling'''::*Make certain that you can login to your cloning-source.::*Configure your network interface for this cloning-source with a '''static''' configuration and is connected to the '''335assign''' network. Refer to the table below for IP address and hostname.<br>

Create a virtual machine that you will use as a template (i.e. a '''cloning source'''). It should have a command-line interface only. Configure it to be a good cloning source, making certain it has all the following elements prior to cloning:
# Don't make the virtual drive too big: you will need space for it as well as space for the clones you from your cloning source<br>(2GB should be enough for any cloning source and clone VM that you create for this assignment).
# Make certain that you can login to your cloning source. The minimum commands required are: '''host''', '''dig''', '''netstat''', '''links'''.
# Do not install software on your cloning source: you are expected to install other software on your "cloned" VMs instead. For example, if you are required to install bind in a clone, install it in the clone as opposed to the "cloning source".
# Configure your network with a static configuration. Refer to the table below for IP address and hostname.
# Make certain that you have '''iptables''' services enabled and running instead of ''Firewalld''. The default rules should suffice.
# If you have created a regular user when you installed the machine, delete that regular user (you are to use only the root account).
# Set up an SSH server on this "cloning source". Make sure that the root account is only permitted to log in using key authentication. If user users are required to be created later, they should be permitted to log in with a their username and password.
# Generate a new key pair on your Host Machine (don't delete the existing one), called: '''id_rsa_asg1'''
# Make sure you can log in from your regular user on your Host Machine to root on the "cloning source" virtual machine using specifically that key.
# Do not place that newly-generated private key on the "cloning source" VM.

You need to add the '''asg1netEPEL repository''' network. Refer to install the table below pv command.# Set execute permissions for address this script, and hostnamerun this Bash shell script prior to exiting your assignment work session to properly backup your cloning source. You should also make a copy of the backup on an external device (such as a USB key).#Set-up via a crontab entry, an '''incremental backup''' of the '''/etc/''' directory of your cloning-source to be performed every hour to the '''/backup/incremental/cloning-source''' directory.  == Assignment Submission == The student is required to prove to their professor that their set-up works correctly during the regularly-scheduled lab period.  ===Assignment Evaluation Details=== *'''ns2Demonstrate working assignment to your instructor in class:''' machine will serve <ol type="a"><li>Students need to demonstrate their assignment functionality to their professor during a lab period (like you would for any lab for "sign-off").</li><li>Students are required to prepare everything ahead of time so that you can quickly demonstrate to your instructor that all required parts of your assignment are working.</li><li>Do do proceed to the next step until you have demonstrated your assignment to your instructor to check for errors that may cause problems when running the same records as checking script.<br><br></li></ol> *Download and run a shell script to check your work (Depending on your OPS335 Instructor):  ::'''Peter Callaghan'ns1s Classes (Sections C &amp; D):'''.<ul><li>Refer to instruction on Moodle to download and run marking shell script</li></ul>

== Create a Test Plan ==
 
Perform the following steps:
 
#Create a test plan (Libre Office, MS Word, etc) with '''at least 5 test cases''' to verify that you've completed the assignment according to specifications. A good starting point would be to view the test plan that you used in the second DNS lab.<br>'''NOTE:''' These test plans that you create are not required to be exhaustive, but they should successfully demonstrate the completion of this assignment's requirements.<br><br>
#The document that you are required to submit should be exported into the PDF format. You are required to submit only the PDF document (along with required screenshots - refer to "Assignment Submission" section).
#This document is required to appear professional (although you are not using a "dedicated" testing platform like in industry).
 
= Assignment Submission =
 
Submit the following in Blackboard, Moodle, or whatever your professor specifies in class or "class announements" (For Murray Saul, also send these in an e-mail (subject line: OPS335 assignment1) with the following attachments):
 
# '''Screenshots''' to demonstrate you have accomplished the required tasks for this assignment.<br>This includes: '''configuration files''', '''service statuses''', and '''basic tests of functionality'''.''' NOTE: You MUST take screenshoots of the ENTIRE screen as opposed to only the VM console'''.
# Your '''test plan''' in '''PDF''' format.
 
*Demonstrate working assignment to your instructor in class:
**Also you need to show your assignment to the professor in a lab period (like you would for any lab for "sign-off"). This requires you to prepare everything ahead of time so that you can quickly demonstrate to your instructor that all required parts of your assignment are working.
