The Linux kernel is started by the BIOS or UEFI firmware during the boot process, depending on the hardware architecture. The BIOS or UEFI firmware is responsible for initializing the hardware and loading the boot loader from a boot device. The boot loader then loads the kernel and passes some parameters to it.

The command that you would run to create an updated initial file system, if your server hardware requires additional drivers to be available for the kernel at boot up, is mkinitrd. This command will create or update the initrd file in /boot based on the current kernel and configuration files. The initrd file is an initial ramdisk image that contains the necessary drivers and tools to mount the root file system and start the boot process.

The command that is used to manage software RAID is mdadm. This command can be used to create, assemble, monitor, and manage multiple device (md) arrays that provide RAID functionality. It can also be used to query and modify various parameters and settings of md arrays. References:https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP3/html/SLES-all/sec-raid.html#sec-raid-mdadm

The basic components of RPM are RPM Database and RPM Package Manager. The RPM Database is a collection of files that store information about installed packages on the system. It is located in /var/lib/rpm by default. The RPM Package Manager is a set of tools and libraries that allow you to install, uninstall, query, verify, and manage RPM packages. It includes commands such as rpm, zypper, yast2, etc. References:https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP3/html/SLES-all/cha-rpm.html#sec-rpm-components

The ip route show or ip r s commands will display the routing table on a Linux system. The routing table contains information about how to reach different network destinations. The cat /etc/sysconfig/routes command will display the static routes configuration file, which may not reflect the current routing table. The other commands are either invalid or unrelated to routing. References:https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP3/html/SLES-all/sec-network-routing.html

If you have a service named tftp, the command and options that would enable tftp to start automatically when the server starts are systemctl enable tftp. This command will create symbolic links in the appropriate systemd target directories to enable the tftp service unit. To start the service immediately, you can also use systemctl start tftp or systemctl enable --now tftp.

The configuration files that have a format that is compatible with the system logging facility in SUSE Linux Enterprise are /etc/syslog.conf and /etc/rsyslog.conf. These files contain rules that specify how to filter and process log messages from different sources and destinations. The /etc/syslog.conf file is used by the traditional syslogd daemon, while the /etc/rsyslog.conf file is used by the more advanced rsyslogd daemon. SUSE Linux Enterprise uses rsyslogd by default, but it can also read /etc/syslog.conf for backward compatibility.

The program systemd is the process with process ID 1. It is responsible for initializing the system in the required way. systemd is started directly by the kernel and resists signal 9, which normally terminates processes. All other programs are either started directly by systemd or by one of its child processes.

The system initialization system used in SLES 15 is systemd. It is a modern and powerful system and service manager that replaces the traditional init system. It provides faster boot times, better dependency handling, parallelization, and more features and capabilities.

The three permissions available on posix file systems are read, write, and execute. The read permission allows the user to view the contents of a file or directory. The write permission allows the user to modify or delete a file or directory. The execute permission allows the user to run a file as a program or change into a directory.

The command that is used to ensure an ext3 file system is checked every 50 times it is mounted is tune2fs. The tune2fs command can be used to adjust various parameters of an ext2, ext3, or ext4 file system. The -c option can be used to set the maximum number of mounts between two file system checks. For example, tune2fs -c 50 /dev/sda1 will set the check interval to 50 mounts for /dev/sda1. References:https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP3/html/SLES-all/sec-tune2fs.html
