A later version of these labs is available. We recommend that you use Red Hat System Administration I RH124-RHEL8) when starting a new class.
This course provides a foundation for students wishing to become full-time Linux system administrators by introducing key command line concepts and other enterprise-level tools. RH124 is designed for IT professionals without previous Linux administration experience. The course provides students with Linux administration "survival skills" by focusing on core administration tasks.
All NETLAB+ supported labs in the Red Hat System Administration I course are supported using the Red Hat System Admin pod.
Participation in the Red Hat® Academy program is required. Participating NETLAB+ customers may contact NDG to request enabled Red Hat content.

To enable the Red Hat System Administration I labs, create a class and check the box for "RHSA - RH124" in the global labs class settings.
Always select the correct lab exercise for the lab being performed. Students or teams should schedule the correct lab exercise from the catalog. NETLAB+ will only show those labs for which the required pod type is available. A lab that works on different pod types may appear more than once if your system is so equipped. Instructors should select the correct lab from the Exercise tab during instructor-led lab reservations. This can be done as many times as needed during the reservation.
