I just don't know what the config line is for specifying the install to use iscsi disks. Also, at what point should it be in the kickstart file? Are there any other options that need to be changed to make this work? This is the disk portion of the file:
Does the iscsi stanza come before or after the zerombr option? Is this the right way to use an iscsi device inside of the kickstart file? iscsi --ipaddr=192.168.4.20 --target iqn.2009-09.com.mydomain:storage.lun1 --port 3260 zerombr clearpart --all --drives=xvda --initlabel part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=128 part pv.00 --grow --size=1 volgroup hostvg pv.00 logvol / --fstype xfs --name=lvroot --vgname=hostvg --size=1024 logvol /home --fstype xfs --name=lvhome --vgname=hostvg --size=1024 logvol /tmp --fstype xfs --name=lvtmp --vgname=hostvg --size=1024 logvol /usr --fstype xfs --name=lvusr --vgname=hostvg --size=4192 logvol /var --fstype xfs --name=lvvar --vgname=hostvg --size=1024 logvol swap --name=lvswap --vgname=hostvg --grow --size=560 --maxsize=1120 I am at a loss as to what I am doing wrong. I can mount the iscsi disks without a problem by using the iscsiadm command and mount and r/w to the device. So I know that it is accessible and permissions are right along with firewall.
