Partition table to use different device

Support
1

I am trying to do bare metal provisioning on the servers. Currently I am
using the Kickstart default provisioning table, I think it is doing the
install to my local hard disk /dev/sda, however that is not what I want. I
want the OS to be installed to a Fibre Channel attached LUN. When I
manually install the system I see the device I want show up in pvdisplay
as /dev/mapper/mpatha2. This is a link to another device though:
[root@ptleorted02splkp006 ~]# ls -l /dev/mapper/mpatha2
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 7 Apr 21 08:50 /dev/mapper/mpatha2 -> …/dm-2

I am looking for some help in creating a new provisioning table to do the
following:

  1. Use the FC device listed above.
  2. Setup the following partitions:
    40GB /
    50GB /opt
    8GB swap
    1GB /boot

Thanks a lot!

Luke,

simply install the server interactively with Anaconda and take a look
at /root/anaconda-ks.cfg (is the file path I believe not sure), you
will find the whole kickstart there created by Anaconda, then make the
appropriate changes.

Yup! That easy.
