CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 30

A server administrator is using remote access to update a server. The administrator notices numerous error messages when using YUM to update the applications on a server. Which of the following should the administrator check FIRST?

Answer options

• A. Network connectivity on the server
• B. LVM status on the server
• C. Disk space in the /var directory
• D. YUM dependencies

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because insufficient disk space in the /var directory can prevent YUM from downloading and installing updates properly. While network connectivity (A) is important, it is secondary to ensuring there is enough disk space available. LVM status (B) and YUM dependencies (D) may also be relevant, but they are not the first things to check in this scenario.
