Question 181

Report Export Collapse

An administrator is alerted to a hardware failure in a mission-critical server. The alert states that two drives have failed. The administrator notes the drives are in different RAID 1 arrays, and both are hotswappable. Which of the following steps will be the MOST efficient?

Replace one drive, wait for a rebuild, and replace the next drive.
Replace one drive, wait for a rebuild, and replace the next drive.
Shut down the server and replace the drives.
Shut down the server and replace the drives.
Replace both failed drives at the same time.
Replace both failed drives at the same time.
Replace all the drives in both degraded arrays.
Replace all the drives in both degraded arrays.
Suggested answer: C
Explanation:

Since both drives are in different RAID 1 arrays and both are hot-swappable, the most efficient step is to replace both failed drives at the same time. This can minimize the downtime and avoid unnecessary reboots. RAID 1 provides mirroring, which means that data is duplicated on both drives in the array. Therefore, replacing one drive will not affect the data on the other drive or the functionality of the array. Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_RAID_levels#RAID_1

Question 182

A server administrator made a change in a server's BIOS in an attempt to fix an issue with the OS not turning on. However, the change did not successfully correct the issue. Which of the following should the server administrator do NEXT?

Reinstall the server OS in repair mode while maintaining the data.
Reinstall the server OS in repair mode while maintaining the data.
Flash the BIOS with the most recent version.
Flash the BIOS with the most recent version.
Reverse the latest change made to the server and reboot.
Reverse the latest change made to the server and reboot.
Restart the server into safe mode and roll back changes.
Restart the server into safe mode and roll back changes.
Suggested answer: C
Explanation:

The best practice for troubleshooting is to follow a logical and systematic process that involves identifying the problem, establishing a theory of probable cause, testing the theory, establishing a plan of action, implementing the solution, verifying functionality, and documenting findings. Since the problem occurred after a change in the server’s BIOS, the most likely cause is that the change was incompatible or incorrect for the OS. Therefore, the next step should be to reverse the latest change made to the server and reboot to see if that fixes the issue. Reference:

Question 183

Report Export Collapse

A technician is decommissioning a server from a production environment. The technician removes the server from the rack but then decides to repurpose the system as a lab server instead of decommissioning it. Which of the following is the most appropriate NEXT step to recycle and reuse the system drives?

Reinstall the OS.
Reinstall the OS.
Wipe the drives.
Wipe the drives.
Degauss the drives.
Degauss the drives.
Update the IP schema.
Update the IP schema.
Suggested answer: B
Explanation:

Wiping the drives is the most appropriate step to recycle and reuse the system drives. Wiping the drives means erasing all the data on the drives and overwriting them with random or meaningless data. This can help prevent data leakage, comply with regulations, and prepare the drives for a new installation or configuration. Wiping the drives is different from deleting or formatting the drives, which only remove the references to the data but not the data itself. Reference:

Question 184

A technician is setting up a small office that consists of five Windows 10 computers. The technician has been asked to use a simple IP configuration without manually adding any IP addresses. Which of the following will the technician MOST likely use for the IP address assignment?

Static
Static
Router-assigned
Router-assigned
APIPA
APIPA
DHCP
DHCP
Suggested answer: D
Explanation:

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol and it is a network protocol that automatically assigns IP addresses and other network configuration parameters to devices on a network. DHCP can help simplify IP configuration without manually adding any IP addresses. DHCP works by using a DHCP server that maintains a pool of available IP addresses and leases them to devices that request them. The devices can renew or release their IP addresses as needed.

Which of the following ensures a secondary network path is available if the primary connection fails?

Link aggregation
Link aggregation
Most recently used

Heartbeat
Heartbeat
Fault tolerance
Fault tolerance
Suggested answer: D
Explanation:

Fault tolerance is the ability of a system to continue functioning in the event of a failure of one or more of its components. Fault tolerance can ensure a secondary network path is available if the primary connection fails. Fault tolerance can be achieved by using redundant components, such as network cards, cables, switches, routers, etc., that can take over the function of the failed component without interrupting the service.

Question 186

Report Export Collapse

Which of the following backup types resets the archive bit each time it is run?

Differential
Differential
Snapshot
Snapshot
Incremental
Incremental
Synthic full
Synthic full
Suggested answer: C
Explanation:

Incremental backup is a type of backup that only backs up the files that have changed since the last backup, whether it was a full or an incremental backup. Incremental backup resets the archive bit each time it is run, which means it clears the flag that indicates whether or not the file has been backed up. Incremental backup can save time and space compared to full backup, but it requires more time and resources to restore data from multiple backups. Reference:

Question 187

An administrator discovers a Bash script file has the following permissions set in octal notation; 777

Which of the following is the MOST appropriate command to ensure only the root user can modify and execute the script?

chmod go-rwx
chmod go-rwx
chmod u=rwx
chmod u=rwx
chmod u+wx
chmod u+wx
chmod g-rwx
chmod g-rwx
Suggested answer: A
Explanation:

chmod is a command-line tool that changes the permissions of files and directories in Linux and Unix systems. chmod go-rwx means to remove read, write, and execute permissions for group and other users from a file or directory. This can ensure only the root user can modify and execute the script, since root user has full access to all files and directories regardless of their permissions. Reference:

Question 188

Report Export Collapse

A server administrator receives the following output when trying to ping a local host:

CompTIA SK0-005 image Question 188 97859 10022024175342000000

Which of the following is MOST likely the issue?

Firewall
Firewall
DHCP
DHCP
DNS
DNS
VLAN
VLAN
Suggested answer: A
Explanation:

A firewall is a network device or software that filters and controls the incoming and outgoing traffic based on predefined rules. A firewall can block or allow certain types of packets, ports, protocols, or IP addresses. The output of the ping command shows that the local host is unreachable, which means that there is no network connectivity between the source and the destination. This could be caused by a firewall that is blocking the ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) packets that ping uses to test the connectivity.

The management team has mandated the encryption of all server administration traffic. Which of the following should MOST likely be implemented?

SSH
SSH
VPN
VPN
SELinux
SELinux
FTPS
FTPS
Suggested answer: A
Explanation:

SSH stands for Secure Shell and it is a network protocol that provides encrypted and authenticated communication between two hosts. SSH can be used to remotely access and administer a server using a command-line interface or a graphical user interface. SSH can ensure the encryption of all server administration traffic, which can prevent eavesdropping, tampering, or spoofing by unauthorized parties.

Question 190

An administrator is installing a new file server that has four drive bays available. Which of the following RAID types would provide the MOST storage as well as disk redundancy?

RAIDO
RAIDO
RAID 1
RAID 1
RAID 5
RAID 5
RAID 10
RAID 10
Suggested answer: C
Explanation:

RAID 5 is a RAID level that provides striping with parity, which means that data is distributed across all disks with one disk storing parity information for error correction. RAID 5 can tolerate one disk failure without losing data. RAID 5 provides the most storage as well as disk redundancy out of the four RAID levels given, since it only uses one disk for parity and the rest for data. For example, if four 200GB drives are used in a RAID 5 array, the total storage capacity would be 600GB (200GB x 3), while in RAID 0 it would be 800GB (200GB x 4), in RAID 1 it would be 200GB (200GB x 1), and in RAID 10 it would be 400GB (200GB x 2).
