Changing a timezone on Redhat 7 Linux server is a easy task which can be done on a command line with a few commands. First find your timezone using timedatectl command. The following linux command will list all timezones:
[root@rhel7 ~]# timedatectl list-timezones
To narrow down the search you can use grep to search for a specific city. For example:
[root@rhel7 ~]# timedatectl list-timezones | grep -i bratislava
Europe/Bratislava
In order to install of PIP the Python packaging tool on RHEL 7 Linux we first need to install its only pre-requisite and that is setuptools package otherwise we will get a following error message:
Downloading/unpacking pip
Cannot fetch index base URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pip
Cleaning up...
No distributions at all found for pip
Storing debug log for failure in /root/.pip/pip.log
From this reason we first install setuptools:
[root@rhel7 ~]# wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/setuptools/setuptools-7.0.tar.gz --no-check-certificate
[root@rhel7 ~]# tar xzf setuptools-7.0.tar.gz
[root@rhel7 ~]# cd setuptools-7.0
[root@rhel7 ~]# python setup.py install
...
Installed /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/setuptools-7.0-py2.7.egg
Processing dependencies for setuptools==7.0

The following config will help you to configure a virtual network interface to allow you to have multiple additional network IP address on a single hardware network interface. For example our RHEL server has currently a single hardware network interface called eth0. This interface is used as a master network interface with an IP address of 10.1.1.110. To this network interface we will attach two additional virtual network interfaces eth0:0 - 10.1.1.111 and eth0:1 - 10.1.1.112. Let's get started by showing a current network configuration:
[root@rhel7 ~]# ip addr show
From the above output we can see that currently we have configured eth0 network interface only. Next, we are going to locate a corresponding network interface configuration file for eth0:
In this config we are going to configure a network interface to receive an IP configuration settings from DHCP server. First get the name of the network interface you would like to set as DHCP client. To do this you can run command:
# ip addr show
2: enp0s3: mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000
link/ether 08:00:27:15:38:b7 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 fe80::a00:27ff:fe15:38b7/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
Once we have located a name of the network interface in question open a corresponding configuration file. So as an example, for network interface epn0s3 vi will edit a /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp0s3. Open this file and enter the minimum configuration settings in order to make this network interface act as a DHCP client:
There are number of ways how to find you what Redhat Linux version is my server running on. First check /etc/os-release file:
# cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server"
VERSION="7.0 (Maipo)"
ID="rhel"
ID_LIKE="fedora"
VERSION_ID="7.0"
PRETTY_NAME="Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 7.0 (Maipo)"
