RE: Installing RedHat on a SAN disk using kickstart

["Mukarram Syed" <muksyed@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Edwin,

Thanks for the reply.

But I don’t quite understand…

You mean install Linux on the local drive, get the SAN disk installed and then export which directory to network?   

I kinda lost you there.

Please clarify.

Try mount your SAN disk in a Linux Box ( full operative ) and use NFS/http/ftp for export this directory to network.

Hi,

Any suggestions would be appreciated on this Subject of Installing RedHat on a SAN disk using Kickstart:

 

I have been using Kickstart to install RedHat Linux on local disks.  But a requirement arose in our department to install Linux on a SAN disk which I have never done before.

We will be using Emulex Card with lpfc drivers.  How could one incorporate loading the lpfc driver upon bootup so that it could recognize the SAN disk and install OS on this.  Should I rebuild the kernel or the initrd file to load the lpfc drivers?  If yes, how?

Which partitions will it use to install the OS (sda/sdb or something else)?

Please advice.

Try mount your SAN disk in a Linux Box ( full operative ) and use NFS/http/ftp for export this directory to network.

 

Thanks Much in advance

 

-Mukarram.
