In the previous post you were booting from the hard drive not the DVD. I assume it wasn't burned correctly but just wanted to see what happened. So I gather nothing.
Thank you very much. It seemed impossible to burn iso image in a dvd in mac. However, when everything failed, the following command burned successfully the iso image.
Thank you very much for helping me all the way. I am trying to boot in rescue mode. Here is my current file system. It seems I have lost all my previous files. Is there any way to retrieve these files? It seems I have 26TB filesystem(/dev/mapper/centos-home) which is mounted on /mnt/sysimage/home
Many users will use this system. So I want to mount home for all the users in 26TB disk on " / ". I also want to mount /mnt/sysimage/boot in a different file system. Can you help me with next step of installation? I just don't want more messes. I gratefully appreciate your help.
Sorry to bother you again. Attached is the my physical volumes. It seems I have a 16TB disk in /dev/sda3, a 111.79GB disk in /dev/sdb1 and another 10TB in /dev/sdc1.
I think all my previous files (including user profiles) are in /dev/sda3, but I now I can't access them. How can I retrieve them? I want to configure the system in a way that very user can use the system easily. Any suggestion on that?
Some of the files in /boot were moved. Do you remember the command you actually used? If so you can move them back. Search home and /. Not sure how to reinstall the kernel with CentOS 7 under rescue mode yet.
The /mnt/sysimage is just how the rescue mode mounts your file systems. If the system ever boots they will be as usual. Since you are using LVM /boot can not be moved.
LVM is a way to combine disks so they look like one big filesystem. When the systems boots normally all the drives and filesystems appears like one.
Many users will use this system. So I want to mount home for all the users in 26TB disk on " / ". I also want to mount /mnt/sysimage/boot in a different file system. Can you help me with next step of installation? I just don't want more messes. I gratefully appreciate your help.

You do NOT want your root filesystem to be shared with "all the users". Keep it separate. Part of the problem is that you will HAVE to impose quotas on the users (otherwise they will use up the storage and then fight you over who gets what - and can prevent you from updating the system).
Keeping it separate helps with backup and restore by limiting what you have to do. It also help protects the system from accidents on the users home directory.
