In the past, I added 'nostorage' to bootparams.addkcmdline and then in the KS template added:
For RHEL <= 5.x: device scsi mptsas In the ongoing effort to fix that which is not broken, Red Hat apparently removed this from kickstart, but I found the following which might prove helpful: https://www.redhat.com/archives/rhelv6-beta-list/2010-April/msg00090.html Don't have anything to test it on, though. YMMV since it's talking about 6-beta and the nostorage option was accidentally left in the documentation after 6 was released. Also might be useful: http://osdir.com/ml/kickstart-list/2012-02/msg00010.html Regards, Christian D.

I have found that when installing the node, the install process accesses the SAN drives and corrupts them. I have the following in the *.tmpl (which came with the xcat install) file which I thought would eliminate this, but I have not been successful in my testing: %pre #!/bin/sh # This will remove the loaded HBA modules from the kernel #modprobe mptsas #modprobe mptscsih #modprobe mptbase #modprobe scsi_transport_sas remove_qla(){ for i in $(lsmod | grep qla | awk .{print $1.}); do echo Will remove: $i >> /dev/tty1 rmmod $i sleep 1 done } remove_lpfc(){ for i in $(lsmod | grep lpfc | awk .{print $1.}); do echo Will remove: $i >> /dev/tty1 rmmod $i sleep 1 done } remove_qla sleep 2 remove_qla remove_lpfc echo "All qla modules removed" sleep 10 #INCLUDE:../scripts/pre.rh# %post #INCLUDE:../scripts/post.rh# Linux: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.1 (Santiago) XCaT: 2.6.8 Any help would be greatly appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
