Iâve actually tried that in the past. It doesnât work. But, for completeness, I tried it againâ and I receive this error from anaconda: Error Parsing Kickstart Config The following error was found while parsing the kickstart configuration file: The following problem occurred on line 2 of the kickstart file: Tried to use undefined partition /dev/sdb in Volume Group specification Any thoughts on that? Iâm at a loss. -Andy From: kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Moray Henderson (ICT) As well as generating /tmp/custom-part for kickstart, your %pre script also has to execute the Linux commands to create the PV. There were some examples given earlier in this thread: lvm pvcreate /dev/sdb echo "volgroup rootvg /dev/sdb âuseexisting" >> /tmp/custom-part ought to give you a volgroup called rootvg consisting of the whole of /dev/sdb. See 31.4. Kickstart Options if you havenât found it already. Moray. âTo err is human; to purr, feline.â From: Speagle, Andy [mailto:andy.speagle@xxxxxxxxxxx] Hi Team, Iâve progressed a bit on this issue. What Iâm presently trying to do is use a simple %pre script to generate a temp file with the commands to be included in the partitioning section of the kickstart. So, I run the %pre script, it creates /tmp/custom-part, which is included in the partitioning section using: %include /tmp/custom-part All of that works duckilyâ however anaconda refuses to use ârootvgâ without it being defined using the âvolgroupâ command in the partitioning section. And sadly, I canât get the âvolgroupâ command to work without a PV defined. If I try to specify the partition by passing the --useexisting and --onpart options to the âpartâ commandâ that fails too â so I continue to be stuck. This is what I do to have the /tmp/custom-part created: echo "part /boot --fstype=ext3 -- > /tmp/custom-part echo "volgroup rootvg --useexisting" >> /tmp/custom-part echo "logvol / --fstype=ext3 --name=root --vgname=rootvg --size=4096" >> /tmp/custom-part echo "logvol swap --fstype=swap --name=swap --vgname=rootvg --size=2048" >> /tmp/custom-part echo "logvol /var --fstype=ext3 --name=var --vgname=rootvg --size=2048" >> /tmp/custom-part echo "logvol /var/tmp --fstype=ext3 --name=vartmp --vgname=rootvg --size=1024" >> /tmp/custom-part echo "logvol /home --fstype=ext3 --name=home --vgname=rootvg --size=2048" >> /tmp/custom-part echo "logvol /tmp --fstype=ext3 --name=tmp --vgname=rootvg --size=1024" >> /tmp/custom-part echo "logvol /opt --fstype=ext3 --name=opt --vgname=rootvg --size=2048" >> /tmp/custom-part Has anyone actually done this? Is there some magic Iâm missing? -Andy OM International Limited - Unit B Clifford Court, Cooper Way - Carlisle CA3 0JG - United Kingdom |
