Exam prerequisites

This week is the final week of labs. Due to this, and impending exams/thesis dates, there will not be any difficult lab materials.

This week's lab is about two main topics:

  • Feedback
  • Linking your VM to a real person

Mandatory feedback for improvement of the course

The OIS feedback system is not specific enough for our needs, so we gather our own feedback.

Please go to link https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScKUeJ6723jMJXEz9SYc0OPR6gvwqp3rqYJfvO-8s-nGGXpWg/viewform?usp=sf_link

And fill out this form. This form is only used for improving the course in the future. The UUID or Matrix in the first question is to make sure that everyone fills it out.

You can use anything you want in the UUID field, just make sure it's not easily guessable. If you use the UUID, make sure to remember it to add it in the next part.

Linking your VM to a real person

Due to the fact that we allowed you to use any VM name possible, we now have to make sure your machine belongs to who claims it belongs to. For this reason we ask you to do the following task:

Complete

Make a text file at /etc/identity.

Fill in the following template, and put it into /etc/identity:

Full name: <your_full_name>
VM name: <your_VM_name>
Matrix number: <your_matrix_number>
Email address: <your_email_address>

If you used the UUID option before, also add field:

UUID: <your_used_uuid>

In this exact format, as we will be parsing this with scripts.

After having done this, make sure all your Nagios checks are green. If they are, contact a TA through Slack (preferred) with the following content or send an email to sysadunitartu@gmail.com:

  • Your name
  • Your vm_name
  • Your email address you have used in ETAIS
  • Date when you want to take your first attempt

Then we will validate that everything is green on Nagios, see if you have any questions and make sure your VM is fully functional. If everything is okay, we will let you to the exam.

Warning

NB! This should be done a week before your actual exam date.

Make sure to read the exam page in courses to understand the format and requirements of the exam.
