7.Explain the process of installing and configuring application software.
Ans.
1. Installing a software basically means copying a set of code in specific directory from which system can access those files for compilation and execution.

 2. New software packages might be installed in ‘/opt’ if they are likely to be upgraded separately from Red hat distribution itself.

 3. Some packages may need to go in ‘/usr/src’ or even ‘/usr’ if they are upgraded of packages installed as part of packages installed as part of Red hat.

 4. The location of the installation usually matters only if you compile the application from source code.

 5. If you use a Red hat package manager (RPM) application package, it automatically goes where it should.

 6. It is possible for individual users to install some applications in their home directories.

 7. Drive space set aside for their own files and customizations, these applications may not be available to other users without the permission of the user who installed the program or the system administrator.

8. Besides system administrator can decide which users may use which application by creating a ‘group’.

44.Explain process of setting up a NIC (Network interface card). Ans. 1. Network interface card (NIC) can be set-up by configuring the network card and internal network. 2. Before configuring network card we must check loopback (IP address 127.0.0.1) is working. 3. Even if the compute is not connected to outside network internet network configuration is required for some applications. This address is known as loopback device, and its IP address is 127.0.0.1 4. To check loopback device is configured or not, we use ‘ifconfig’ command it shows a device called ‘lo’ with the address 127.0.0.1, if this device and address is not shown there then loopback is not configured. 5. To configure it we can use command ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 after that we need to use the ‘route’ command to give system a little more information about this interface for this ‘route add –net 127.0.0.0’ command is used, after this loopback is setup. 6. To configure a network card we will use ifconfig co...

68.How to configure Network file system (NFS) client? Ans. 1. To configure client, make sure that the portmapper, NFS file locking daemons statd & lockd, mount command are avaialbe. 2. NFS client needs the portmapper running in order to process and route RPC calls and returns from the server to the appropriate port and programs. 3. We can ensure portmapper is running or not by using following command: #service portmap status 4. If portmapper is not running then it’ll show us portmapper is stopped to start portmapper we’ll use following command: #service portmap start 5. Mounting can be done using following commands: For example we wants to mount /media from the server configured at the end then we’ll execute following commands: #mount –t nfs 192.168.166.5:/media /media 6. If user wish, he/she can specify client mount options using mounts arguments as; #mount –t nfs 192.168.166.5:/media /media -o resize=8292,wsize=8192, hard, nolock 7. Following are t...
