Subject: [xcat-user] Install to machine with direct attached storage
Date: Mon, Jun 13, 2016 4:44 PM
Hi there,
I am using xCAT 2.8.5 and trying to do an install to a node that has SAS (LSI SAS2008) and Fibre (QLOGIC QLE2562) attached storage. I am using osimage rhels6.7-x86_64-install-storage and have tried using a custom partitionfile using ignoredisk like this:
clearpart --drives=/dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:01:00.0-scsi-0:1:0:0 --all --initlabel
ignoredisk --only-use=/dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:01:00.0-scsi-0:1:0:0autopart
However, the luns are still available (e.g. sda, sdb, ..., sdk) and are still being considered by Anaconda, causing many "sense" errors and, I believe, the install to hang.
On tope of this, I have tried blacklisting the FC and SAS device drivers and even removing them from initrd, (similar to the suggestion in http://fibrevillage.com/storage/238-how-to-disable-san-fibre-channel-disks-at-booting-installing) although from the kickstart file for the node has this code in the %pre section (pasted below) which I believe should not require this.
Please help, I am stuck on this. I have been recommended to remove the fibre and SAS cables for the install, but I really do not want to do this for the installations as this is not scalable and there must be a better way.
Thank you in advance for your time!
Stephen
