I have 2 questions dealing with 2 different kickstart files. 1) my kickstart sections for RAID disk setup and kickstart reports it cannot find sda. Why is that. sda is there and works. clearpart --all --initlabel part raid.01 --asprimary --bytes-per-inode=4096 --fstype="raid" --onpart=sda1 --size=20000 part swap --asprimary --bytes-per-inode=4096 --fstype="swap"

Hello. A couple of years ago I installed two file-servers using kickstart. The server has two 1TB sata disks with two software raid1 partitions as follows: # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md1 : active raid1 sdb4[1] sda4[0] 933448704 blocks [2/2] [UU] md0 : active raid1 sdb1[1] sda2[2](F) 40957568 blocks [2/1] [_U] Now the drives are starting to be failing and next week

I have a couple lines like: part / --ondisk=sda --fstype ext3 --size=20000 --asprimary part swap --ondisk=sda --size=4000 --asprimary part /home --ondisk=sda --fstype ext3 --size=1 --asprimary --grow in my kickstart file. Is there a way to have 1 kickstart file that works for hda and sda both??? So I would like to have 1 kickstart file that works for either a hda

I am trying to add an efi partition to my working kickstart file. bootloader --driveorder=sda --append="rhgb quiet biosdevname=0 net.ifnames=0" clearpart --all --initlabel part / --ondisk=sda --fstype xfs --size=20000 --asprimary part swap --ondisk=sda --size=4000 --asprimary part /boot/efi --ondisk=sda --fstype efi --size=1000 --asprimary part /home --ondisk=sda

As I understand anaconda uses parted to partition (starting from centos 6), using this as example (kickstart configuration file): clearpart --all --drives=sda --initlabel part /boot --asprimary --size=200 --fstype=ext2 --ondisk=sda part swap --asprimary --size=16384 --fstype=swap --ondisk=sda part / --asprimary --size=512000 --fstype=ext4 --ondisk=sda part /scratch --asprimary --size=1 --grow

I was just wondering how (or indeed if) people use the %include directive in Kickstart configuration files when building systems via NFS. I've been trying to modularise our Kickstart files a little to make things more readable, having generic defaults and role specific stuff split out into separate configs. I've tried this configuration... [root at archive kickstart]# cat

Hey, Can anyone tell me why option 1 works and option 2 fails ? I know I need swap and such, however in trouble shooting this issue I trimmed down my config. It fails on trying to format my logical volume, because the mount point does not exist (/dev/volgroup/logvol) It seems that with option 2, the partitions are created and LVM is setup correctly. However the volgroup / logvolume was not

Is there a reason why after a software raid install (from kickstart) that md1 is always unclean. md0 seems fine. boot screen says md1 is dirty and cat /proc/mdstat show md1 as being rebuilt. Any ideas? Jerry --------------- my kickstart -------------- echo "bootloader --location=mbr --driveorder=$HD1SHORT --append=\"rhgb quiet\" " >

I am testing some kickstarts on ESXi virtual machine with pair of 16GB disks. Partitioning is lvm over raid. If i am using "logvol --grow i get "ValueError: not enough free space in volume group" Only workaround i can find is to add --maxsize=XXX where XXX is at least 640MB less than available. (10 extents or 320Mb per created logical volume) Following snippet is failing with

Hello, I'm trying to do a kickstart install of centos5. I'm pulling it off a network server and i'm getting an error, in the parsing of the file. It refers to line 31, i'm not going to show the complete file, but here is the indicated line: raid swap --fstype swap --level=RAID1 raid.4 raid.7 and the raid lines: part raid.7 --size=512 --ondisk=hdb part raid.4 --size=512

I am trying to install Centos 7 on a couple 4TB drives with software raid. In the Supermicro bios I set UEFI/BIOS boot mode to legacy. I am using the Centos 7 minimal install ISO flashed to a USB thumb drive. So I do custom drive layout something like this using sda and sdb. Create /boot as 512 MB XFS raid1 array. Create SWAP as 32 GB SWAP raid1 array. Create / on 3.xxx TB XFS raid1 array.

Hi All, I have a new system with 2 Seagate 1TB SATA Enterprise level drives in it. I want to RAID1 (mirror) these drives. This machine will be a web-server in my apartment hosting an HTML video fan site I am creating. Apache, MySQL, PHP etc. This site will easily be 300+ gigs with all the versions of each video, the MySQL won't be huge, but will grow as data for each video is added (i.e

Has anyone gotten this to work ? I can define a raid device but cant put a VG on it. I then tried 'autopartition' and it created an 'LVM' of sorts, when I tried to edit it I wasnt able to as a message appeared saying, LVM editing was not allowed in text mode. Any help ? Cheers, Brian. PS - PIII-500mhz 128mb RAM, 4mb AGP.

If you use a kickstart file to build unattended servers (eg virt-install) then new disks or virtual volumes will cause problems unless you have "zerombr true" in the kickstart file eg zerombr yes clearpart --all --initlabel part /boot --fstype=ext4 --asprimary --size=100 part swap --asprimary --size=512 part / --fstype=ext4 --asprimary --grow --size=1 (CentOS 6.2 didn't

I've set up a local webserver to store kickstart files for domUs. All parameters are respected apart from the network settings. DomU always gets DHCP. Can any one help to unwrap this one? Does one add hostname, ip, netmask and gateway values to the /etc/xen/blah.cfg file? # ---- domU kickstart file ----# url --url http://192.168.1.120/centos/5/os/i386 lang en_US.UTF-8 keyboard uk network

Create a new directory (builder/template). Integrate all of the scripts into a single program, so that templates are generated more consistently. This also changes how the index file is generated. The script now generates the index file fragment and saves it under version control, and then generates the final index file by concatenating these. (Previously the index was written by hand which was
