Re: How to constrain the install through kickstart to one drive

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

 



You can't always use one size fits all. We have many kickstart files for our many servers. Each kickstart is tailored for a type of server and we use the type that best suits our needs.

So, the ondisk=sda/hda problem is solved by using the appropriate kickstart file. At the install screen we define which kickstart to use with "linux ks=kickstart_file_name".

HI All,

I have a number of machines I would like to install using kickstart. This isn't the problem as this I know how to do...but, some pc's have more than one HD installed. Some of the pc's have pata, sata or ide drives; that is a mixture of all I have mentioned. In order to combat the problem of kickstart not working on all types of disks, I took out the ondisk=[s|h]da. This works well on a pc with a single disk. With more than one disk, the second disk also get a filesystem. I don't want the second disk touched at all. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance,

Phil
