[Starlingx-discuss] Installation on a specific raid configuration?

[Penney, Don]

The initial primary disk filesystems are preconfigured by the kickstarts for each node. For the standard controller, for example, this is:
- 500M for a boot partition
- 20G for the rootfs (/)
- the remainder for the primary volume group (currently named cgts-vg), which is used for various system volumes.

In addition, you've got the EFI partition that's automatically created as 300M. For legacy boot systems, there is a smaller BIOS boot partition.

Subject: [Starlingx-discuss] Installation on a specific raid configuration?

Hi,

I am trying to install the 20190109 iso on a raid configuration with two nvme disks.

The installer by default creates the following disk layout and does not obye an existing partioning scheme:

#         Start          End    Size  Type            Name
 1         2048       616447    300M  EFI System      EFI System Partition
 2       616448      1640447    500M  Microsoft basic
 3      1640448     42600447   19.5G  Microsoft basic
 4     42600448    430573567    185G  Linux LVM

Questions: 
For waht are these partition #2 and #3 are used? 

Actually we would like to have for a fail over scenario the following layout:

#         Start          End    Size  Type            Name
 1         2048       616447    300M  EFI System      EFI System Partition
 2       616448       ......    950G  Raid mirrored to second nvme1n1p2
 3       .......      ......    32G   swap

Is there a way to tell the installer this configuartion?

Thanks

Marcel
