Changes

None. <br>This will start with a brand-new installation of Centos 7 CentOS on your drive. You may not re-use aninstallation from previous semesters. 

Install Centos 7 Directly CentOS directly on your drive following the guidelines below.:*Networking Should should be on.*Set the hostname of the machine to be ''host.<domainname>.ops''. Check blackboard for your assigned domain name.*Set the timezone to '''Americas/Toronto'''*Select '''Server with GUI ''' as the installation type.

◦ ** Delete any old partitions on the drive.<br />◦ ** Provide a separate mount point for '''/var/lib/libvirt/images '' with at least 100GB.

◦ ** If your MySeneca ID is long enough that typing it would be irritating to do on a regularbasis you may use an alternate name, but you must clear it with me first.

* Add a virtual interface to your existing one. Give it the static address 172.16.[x].1, where x is the network number on blackboard.* SELinux is set to '''enforcing'''.

* You may use either iptables or Use ''firewalld '' as your firewall.* Install ''libvirt '' and ''virt-manager''. Set the virtualization service to start automatically when the machine boots.

*Configure the postfix service on your host to send and receive email for your domain.

◦ ** It must provide forward and reverse lookups of the machines in your domain.<br>◦ ** As the course goes on, you will add entries to your zone for the machines you create.<br>◦ ** Create an MX record to direct all mail sent to users @<yourdomain>.ops to your host.<br>◦ ** It must allow machines in your virtual network to access the outside world (e.g. to get updates).<br>*Ensure both services (postfix and named) start automatically when the machine boots, and allow the traffic for both through your firewall. 

◦ ** Address: 192.168.1[x].0/24, where x is the network number on blackboard. E.g. if your network number is 29, your opsnet network will be 192.168.12929.0/24.

*Install a new vm using the same Centos 7 CentOS release as the host machine.◦ **You may wish to provide the VM access to more than 1 CPU and 1 GiB of RAM so it installs and updates faster.

**Set the hostname to blank.<yourdomain>.ops, using the same domain name as the host machine. **Provide your machine with a static address of your choice, using the host’s address for the primary DNS server and the gateway. **Set the timezone to Americas/Toronto. **Use a minimal installation (no GUI). **Set your root password, and create a non-privileged user account using your MySeneca ID.* If your MySeneca ID is long enough that typing it would be irritating to do on a regular basis you may use an alternate name, but you must clear it with me first.◦ *Once the machine is installed, ensure it is fully updated.
