Hi
This is more of a boot/load driver issue? Sounds like you need to steal an
initrd image that already has the kernel mod installed, boot off that and then
pass a kernal arg to force loading of it? BTW isn't all this HP raid stuff
hidden underneath and the cciss driver just sees it as a disk? I have worked
with a lot of HP servers and there isn't anything special other than setting up
the underlying raid volume in advance of os install?

Hi Alan/Cobbler buddies,
I have a situation, where in I need to inject a specific "hpvsa" RAID driver in
the cobbler ks. I tried the below, but does not work. Appreciate if you can let
me know how to do this correctly and make it work.
Use case:
- HP physical blade with B210i RAID controller, that needs the hpvsa driver
loaded prior to kickstart
- Need to load RHEL7 on this server with the RAID controller on it
What had been tried so far:
- I had tried to do add "driverdisk --source=http://./";, and have the
hpvsa.iso/img file hosted on the http link, but would not work [RHEL7 OS load
completes, and at the post-install step errors out "bootloader install
failed"].
- The bootloader statement in ks is - bootloader --location=mbr
--driveorder=sda --append="crashkernel=auto notsc rdblacklist=ahci
rdloaddriver=hpvsa,hpsa"
- I tried to add the hpvsa rpm package to my RHEL7 repository [imported via
cobbler import], by copying the package, and adding the statement "kmod-hpvsa"
to the %packages section in ks. While loading the packages, kmod-hpvsa package
not found is displayed
- I also tried to copy the rpm kmod-hpvsa and the repodata associated with it,
to my RHEL7 repository, still the same error "kmod-hpvsa package not found"
Please let me know.
Thanks

Providing feedback to the Cobbler mailing list...
Murali posted on the bug that iLo fence agents work fine, this was simply a
firewall issue.
