1 / 10

A server’s decommissioning lacks a chain of custody. Which step ensures compliance?

Wipe drives with dd

Remove the server from the network

Format all disks

Log all handling with timestamps and signatures

Store the server in a locked room

2 / 10

A server’s RAID 6 array shows two failed disks, and data is inaccessible. What’s the immediate action?

Replace both disks and restore from backup

Rebuild the array with one disk

Update the RAID firmware

Switch to RAID 1

Ignore the failures and reboot

3 / 10

A Windows server needs a daily backup of "D:\Data" to "E:\Backup." Which command schedules this?

robocopy "D:Data" "E:Backup" /MIR && schtasks /create /tn "DailyBackup" /tr "robocopy D:Data E:Backup /MIR" /sc daily /st 03:00

copy "D:Data" "E:Backup" /daily

xcopy "D:Data" "E:Backup" /s

taskmgr /backup "D:Data" "E:Backup"

at 03:00 "move D:Data E:Backup"

4 / 10

A server’s performance lags, and vmstat shows high "si" and "so" values. What’s the issue, and how do you confirm?

CPU overload; check top

Memory swapping; check swapon -s

Disk failure; check dmesg

Network congestion; check ifstat

RAID rebuild; check mdadm

5 / 10

A server’s onsite backups were destroyed in a theft. What should have been done for data recovery?

Use RAID 5 for redundancy

Store backups on a local USB drive

Schedule daily local snapshots

Encrypt onsite backups

Replicate backups to a remote data center

6 / 10

A server running a web app needs high availability. Which network configuration ensures failover?

Use a single NIC with static IP

Enable DHCP for redundancy

Set up VLAN tagging

Configure a virtual IP with keepalived

Increase MTU size

7 / 10

A server’s boot process hangs at "loading initial ramdisk." dmesg is inaccessible. What’s the likely cause?

Failed disk drive

Overheating CPU

Corrupted initramfs

Incorrect NIC driver

Full swap partition

8 / 10

A server’s database was accessed via a stolen credential. Which measure prevents future unauthorized access?

Implement role-based access control (RBAC) with least privilege

Change all passwords monthly

Disable the database service

Allow open access to port 3306

Remove all user accounts

9 / 10

A server needs a log rotation policy to manage disk space. Which command configures daily rotation for /var/log/app.log?

mv /var/log/app.log /var/log/app.log.old

cat /var/log/app.log > /dev/null

systemctl enable logrotate

truncate -s 0 /var/log/app.log

echo "/var/log/app.log { daily rotate 7 }" > /etc/logrotate.d/app && logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/app

10 / 10

A server’s new RAID controller isn’t detected during POST. The slot is compatible, and power is on. What’s the first step?

Replace the controller with a different brand

Update the server’s PSU

Reseat the CPU

Disable onboard storage in BIOS

Check BIOS for RAID controller settings
