Hi,
I am working on kickstarting RHEL4 servers with SAN-
attached disks. The disks hang off of Qlogic HBAs, for which there
is a generic qla2xxx driver being loaded. I would like to prevent
the SAN disks from being “seen” during the install – anyone know of
a way to do that?
The *only* sure way I know of doing this is by blocking off the ports
on the switches while doing the kickstart. I've (or my co-workers)
have hosed too many SAN-disk-resident filesystems in the past trying
to get around this problem (which we only have on Linux; its never
been an issue on AIX or Solaris, but that's probably just because of
the deterministic method of device enumeration on those operating
systems.)
