storage_init
storage_init
parameter is required for an automated installation, it initializes a local storage device.
usb
parameter to select the disk type. For example:
storage_init=usb
scsi
to select the disk type. For example:
storage_init=scsi
cciss
parameter to select the disk type. For example:
storage_init=cciss
storage_init
parameter. Using device names in the format /dev/disk/by-id
is not supported. storage_init
must use the format /dev/mapper/disk
or /dev/disk
. In this example the /dev/sda
device is specified:
storage_init=/dev/sda
storage_init
value of usb
, scsi
, or cciss
you also have the option of appending a serial number to explicitly set which device to use. The serial number for the device is determined by running the command shown in Example 4.3, “Finding udev
Serial Numbers”.
udev
Serial Numbers$ for d in /dev/sd?; do echo $d `udevadm info -q env -n $d | grep ID_SERIAL=`; done

), for example:
storage_init=cciss

storage_vol
storage_vol
parameter is used to partition the storage device set by the storage_init
parameter. After storage_vol=
there are six fields separated by colons. Not all fields have to be specified, those that you do not define during installation will be assigned their default value.
-1
sets the partition to take up all remaining disk space. Note that this can only be used with the Data partition.
storage_vol
parameter with each element described in the list below.

iscsi_name
iscsi_name
parameter is used to set the iSCSI Initiator Name. The iSCSI Initiator name is expected to take the form of an iSCSI Qualified Name (IQN). This format is defined by RFC 3720, which is available at http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3720.
