How to get kickstart to use existing logical volumes?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm installing RHEL 3 EL on a server where I have already built the file systems. Some of the file systems are on physical volumes and some are on logical volumes. Apparently kickstart will not let me use the existing logical volumes, or I haven't figured out the syntax to do so. Will kickstart let me specify existing logical volumes? If so, how?

 

Had I build the file systems with kickstart, here's how it would have looked:

 

clearpart -linux

part /boot --fstype ext3 --size 100 -ondisk sda

part swap --size 8196 --ondisk sda

part / --fstype ext3 --size 1 grow --ondisk sda

 

part pv.01 --size 1 --grow -ondisk sdb

volgroup vg01 pv.01

logvol /opt --vgname=vg01 --size=30720 --name=opt

logvol /var --vgname=vg01 --size=30720 --name=var

logvol /var/ftp/pub --vgname=vg01 --size=61440 --name=pub

 

 

Having built the file systems in advance, I tried this syntax:

 

clearpart --none

part /boot -->

part swap -->

part / -->

part /opt -->

part /var -->

Part /var/ftp/pub -->

 

The Kickstart failed, complaining about the /dev/vg01. It did not like plain vg01 when I took off the /dev/. Any suggestions on what it might like?

 

Thanks.
