I have HP Linux servers that the CCISS raid controller (came out of Compaq). The disk presented by this raid controller should up as /dev/cciss/c#d#. If I have the systems connected to SAN storage then they show up as /dev/sd[a, b,c, etc.]. If I try to kickstart a HP server that has SAN devices already zoned to it the kickstart process fails with “Input/output error during write on /dev/sda” error. Does anyone know what could be the problem and how to address. I’m would like to eleminate having to disconnecting the fiber connections or unzoning luns.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Here’s my partition section of the ks.cfg <o:p></o:p><PRE> zerombr yes<o:p></o:p></PRE><PRE> clearpart --drives=cciss/c0d0,cciss/c0d1 --all<o:p></o:p></PRE><PRE> part swap --start=1 --end=800 --ondisk cciss/c0d0 --asprimary<o:p></o:p></PRE><PRE> part / --fstype ext3 --start=801 --end=1057 --ondisk cciss/c0d0 --asprimary<o:p></o:p></PRE><PRE> part pv.00 --size 1 --grow --asprimary --ondisk cciss/c0d0<o:p></o:p></PRE><PRE> volgroup vg00 pv.00<o:p></o:p></PRE><PRE> logvol /usr --vgname=vg00 --size=2024 --name=lvol1<o:p></o:p></PRE><PRE> logvol /var --vgname=vg00 --size=4096 --name=lvol2<o:p></o:p></PRE><PRE> logvol /home --vgname=vg00 --size=1024 --name=lvol3<o:p></o:p></PRE><PRE> logvol /opt --vgname=vg00 --size=4096 --name=lvol4<o:p></o:p></PRE> <o:p> </o:p> Thanks for any help,<o:p></o:p></DIV></BODY></HTML>
