Hello,

We are deploying Red Hat Enterprise Linux under z/VM.

When using kickstart to configure a new VM, the device id passed on by zVM is used to label the disk as it is formatted.

I would like to specify a different label. Is this possible ?

Here is how the disk appears under Linux :

[root@rhel92 ~]# ll /dev/disk/by-path/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 12 déc.  13:38 ccw-0.0.1000 -> ../../dasda
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 12 déc.  13:38 ccw-0.0.1000-part1 -> ../../dasda1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 12 déc.  13:38 ccw-0.0.1000-part2 -> ../../dasda2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 12 déc.  13:38 ccw-0.0.1000-part3 -> ../../dasda3

The id 1000 is passed on to Linux by z/VM.

I understand that this id was used during kickstart's formatting, since in our storage rack we now have a disk labeled 0x1000.

What I would like is to have this (3110 is the real physical address of the disk) :

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 12 déc.  13:38 ccw-0.0.3110 -> ../../dasda

Is there to have it done by kickstart ?

Regards
