===Purpose of Lab 1===
In order to save money and resources when learning to install, manage, and connect Linux machines to form networks, we will be using '''Virtual Machines''' for this course. In fact, we will be using two virtualization virtual machine programs:
:*'''lab1:''' Create a Centos7 Host virtual machine ('''c7host''') in the virtual program called <br> '''VMware Workstation''' (this host will be stored on your Solid State External Drive (SSD).
:*'''Lab2:''' Install a Virtual package on your host VM called '''KVM''' (on your Centos7 Host VM) which will be used to create 3 other virtual Machines (VMs) that will be used to learn about Linux system administration for the remainder of this course.
# Change the Maximum Disk Size from ''20GB'' to '''240GB''' and click '''Next'''.
# Accept the default Disk File name (i.e. c7host.vmdk) and click Next.
# Quickly review your VM settings in the final setup wizard dialog box and click '''Finish'''.'''Click''' on the '''Edit virtual machine settings''' VM under My Computer. In the context menu, select '''Settings'''. Your c7host Settings dialog box should appear.# <span style="background-color:yellow">Click the '''options''' tab and then click the '''Advanced''' option at the bottom of the list. On the right-hand side, '''click'''the checkbox to enable the option to '''Boot with EFI instead of BIOS'''. Then click on the '''Hardware''' tab, and then select the '''CD/DV (IDE)''' device and select in the right-side select the radio button for the '''use ISO I<u>m</u>age file'''. Click the '''Browse''' button and specify the path of your downloaded Centos7 Full install DVD (most likely file is contained in your Downloads folder). Click '''Processors''', and click the check-box to <u>enable</u> '''Virtual Intel VT-X/EPT'''. When finished, click on the '''OK''' button</span>.
# You will return to your c7host VM. Click the play button near the top to boot your c7host VM for the first time.
# Launch your '''c7host''' VM, open the Bash Shell terminal and issue the command: <b><code><span style="color:#3366CC;font-size:1.2em;">su -</span></code></b> and enter root's password.<br><br>
# Make a directory called '''/root/bin''' where you will be storing your shell scripts.<br><br># Change to the '''/root/bin''' directory that you created earlier in this lab.<br><br>
#Issue the Linux command:<br><b><code><span style="color:#3366CC;font-size:1.2em;">wget http://matrix.senecac.on.ca/~murray.saul/ops235/lab1-check.bash</span></code></b><br><br>
# Give the '''lab1-check.bash''' file execute permissions (for the file owner).<br><br>
