[SOLVED] complex kickstart partiton

pantdk · 01-28-2014, 05:21 AM

Hi All,

I am trying to figure out my problem of partition from kickstart
i have 500Gb local disk which i have to make same partition as given below.

Current Partition

/dev/mapper/VolGroup01-LogVol00 ext3 15G 5.1G 8.8G 37% /
/dev/mapper/VolGroup01-homeLV ext3 2.0G 708M 1.2G 37% /home
/dev/mapper/VolGroup01-tmpLV ext3 1008M 36M 922M 4% /tmp
/dev/mapper/VolGroup01-varLV ext3 1008M 477M 480M 50% /var
/dev/mapper/VolGroup01-LogVol01 ext3 20G 16G 3.3G 83% /app
/dev/mapper/VolGroup_DB-VolGroup_DB ext3 197G 88G 102G 47% /VolMount_DB
/dev/mapper/VolGroup_AL-VolGroup_AL ext3 393G 195G 183G 52% /VolMount_AL
/dev/mapper/VolGroup_LS-VolGroup_LS ext3 20G 537M 19G 3% /VolMount_LS

PVS

PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/sda2 VolGroup01 lvm2 a-- 39.88G 1.00G
/dev/sdb1 VolSwap lvm2 a-- 15.97G 0
/dev/sdc1 VolGroup_LS lvm2 a-- 19.99G 0
/dev/sdd1 VolGroup_AL lvm2 a-- 400.00G 1020.00M
/dev/sde1 VolGroup_DB lvm2 a-- 200.00G 0

the disk are
sdb1
sdc1
sdd1
sde1

But we need to make it from single disk like 500Gb which we have to cover all these. my confusion is how i can make a partition that will start that sector from 64 & then it will make a volume group VG

below are the configuration which i am trying i need all suggestion which can help me to fix the configuration

part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 --ondisk=sda
part pv.100000 --size=0 --grow --ondisk=sda
part pv.100002 --size=0 --grow --ondisk=sda
part pv.100003 --size=0 --grow --ondisk=sda
part pv.100004 --size=0 --grow --ondisk=sda
part pv.100005 --size=0 --grow --ondisk=sda

volgroup VolGroup01 --pesize=32768 pv.100000
volgroup SwapVol01 --pesize=32768 pv.100002
Volgroup VolGroup_LS --pesize=32768 pv.100003
Volgroup VolGroup_DB --pesize=32768 pv.100004
VolGroup VolGroup_AL --persize=32768 pv.10005

logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=LogVol00 --vgname=VolGroup01 --size=15000
logvol /tmp --fstype ext3 --name=tmpLV --vgname=VolGroup01 --size=1000
logvol /var --fstype ext3 --name=varLV --vgname=VolGroup01 --size=1000
logvol /home --fstype ext3 --name=homeLV --vgname=VolGroup01 --size=2000
logvol swap --fstype swap --name=SwapVol01 --vgname=VolSwap --size=16000
logvol /app --fstype ext3 --name=VolGroup01 --vgname=LogVol01 --size=2000
logvol /VolMount_LS --fstype ext3 --name=VolGroup_LS --vgname=VolGroup_LS --size=20000
logvol /VolGroup_DB --fstype ext3 --name=VolGroup_DB --vgname=VolGroup_DB --size=200000
logvol /VolGroup_AL --fstype ext3 --name=VolGroup_AL --vgname=VolGroup_AL --size=400000

also need to know that how to make extended & logical partition on that configure.as of now i just fix one thing which is --asprimary but didn't figure out the extended & logical partition define here.

part /boot --fstype ext3 --asprimary --size=100 --ondisk=sda
part pv.100000 --asprimary --size=0 --grow --ondisk=sda
part pv.100002 --asprimary --size=0 --grow --ondisk=sda
part pv.100003 --size=0 --grow --ondisk=sda
part pv.100004 --size=0 --grow --ondisk=sda
part pv.100005 --size=0 --grow --ondisk=sda

below is the error

Quote:

could not allocate requested partitios:
adding this partition would not leave enough
disk space for already allocated logical volumes in
VolGroup01......

Now i have resolve this issue in my testing environment .i have take 42Gb Disk for the this testing.i have only left the 64 starting sector but without that everything is work fine i have adjusted the partition size according to my disk so now i am able to full fill my requirement with this settings.
