Hi,
I was trying to use AutoYast to install number of systems with BIOS Raid1.
The raid is created by Intel Matrix Storage Manager that comes w/ the system.
In my case, when a BIOS Raid1,named Volume0, is created, the name of the
device would be like, isw_xxxxx_Volume0.
In the autoinst.xml, “/dev/mapper/isw_xxxxx_Volume0”, are the values of many
parts of the profile.
e.g.
<bootloader>
-
<device_map>
-
- <device_map_entry>
-
-
- *<linux>/dev/mapper/isw_bbcihdbdh_Volume0</linux>
-
-
<sections config:type=“list”>
-
-
- <section>
-
-
-
-
- <append>resume=/dev/mapper/isw_bbcihdbdh_Volume0_part6 splash=silent
showopts</append>
- <append>resume=/dev/mapper/isw_bbcihdbdh_Volume0_part6 splash=silent
-
-
-
-
-
- <root>/dev/mapper/isw_bbcihdbdh_Volume0_part7</root>
-
-
<partitioning config:type=“list”>
-
- <drive>
-
-
- <device>/dev/mapper/isw_bbcihdbdh_Volume0</device>
-
The name of BIOS Raid1 would be different each time it gets created and it
will cause problems when using the profile to do the installations with
different names.
Is there a way to get around with it? Like having it to have the same name
always?
Or can the installation be more dynamically to set the values? Just like
the “Ask”. However, instead of asking the user to enter values, can we use
pre-defined linux commands or scripts in the profile to set the values based
on the system settings?
Thank you for your time.
Regards,
Al
