use the authconfig --nisserver=<NIS SERVER> --nisdomain=<NIS DOMAIN> -- update


Example: authconfig --niserver=192.168.0.254 --nisdomain=RHCE --update or system-config-authentication
Click on Enable NIS
Type the NIS Domain: RHCE
Type Server 192.168.0.254 then click on next and ok
You will get a ok message.
Create a Directory /rhome/stationx where x is your station number.
vi /etc/auto.master and write at the end of file /rhome/stationx /etc/auto.home --timeout=60
vi /etc/auto.home and write
* -rw,soft,intr 192.168.0.254:/rhome/stationx/&
Note: please specify your station number in the place of x.
Service autofs restart
Login as the nisuser2001 or nisuser2002 on another terminal will be Success. According to question, RHCE domain is already configured. We have to make a
client of RHCE domain and automatically mount the home directory on your system. To make a member of domain, we use the authconfig with option or system-
config authentication command. There a are lots of authentication server i.e NIS, LDAB, SMB etc. NIS is a RPC related Services, no need to configure the DNS, we
should specify the NIS server address.

Here Automount feature is available. When user tried to login, home directory will automatically mount. The automount service used the /etc/auto.master file. On

/etc/auto.master file we specified the mount point the configuration file for mount point.

Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation: The LVM system organizes hard disks into Logical Volume (LV) groups. Essentially, physical hard disk partitions (or possibly RAID arrays) are set up
in a bunch of equal sized chunks known as Physical Extents (PE). As there are several other concepts associated with the LVM system, let's start with some basic
definitions:

Physical Volume (PV) is the standard partition that you add to the LVM mix. Normally, a physical volume is a standard primary or logical partition. It can also be a
RAID array.

Physical Extent (PE) is a chunk of disk space. Every PV is divided into a number of equal sized PEs. Every PE in a LV group is the same size. Different LV groups
can have different sized PEs.

Logical Extent (LE) is also a chunk of disk space. Every LE is mapped to a specific PE.

Logical Volume (LV) is composed of a group of LEs. You can mount a file system such as /home and /var on an LV.

Volume Group (VG) is composed of a group of LVs. It is the organizational group for LVM. Most of the commands that you'll use apply to a specific VG.
Verify the size of Logical Volume: lvdisplay /dev/vg0/lv1
Verify the Size on mounted directory: df -h or df -h mounted directory name
Use: lvextend -L+400M /dev/vg0/lv1
ext2online -d /dev/vg0/lv1 to bring extended size online.
Again Verify using lvdisplay and df -h command.
