Installation guide

The following example shows how to create a RAID level 1 partition for /, and a RAID level
5 for /usr, assuming there are three SCSI disks on the system. It also creates three swap
partitions, one on each drive.
part raid.01 --size=60 --ondisk=sda
part raid.02 --size=60 --ondisk=sdb
part raid.03 --size=60 --ondisk=sdc
part swap --size=128 --ondisk=sda
part swap --size=128 --ondisk=sdb
part swap --size=128 --ondisk=sdc
part raid.11 --size=1 --grow --ondisk=sda
part raid.12 --size=1 --grow --ondisk=sdb
part raid.13 --size=1 --grow --ondisk=sdc
raid / --level=1 --device=md0 raid.01 raid.02 raid.03
raid /usr --level=5 --device=md1 raid.11 raid.12 raid.13
For a detailed example of raid in action, refer to Section 31.4.1, “Advanced Partitioning
Example” .
reboot ( o p t io n al)
Reboot after the installation is successfully completed (no arguments). Normally, kickstart
displays a message and waits for the user to press a key before rebooting.
The reboot option is roughly equivalent to the shutdown -r command.
Specify reboot to automate installation fully when installing in cmdline mode on System z.
For other completion methods, refer to the halt, poweroff, and shutdown kickstart
options.
The halt option is the default completion method if no other methods are explicitly
specified in the kickstart file.
Note
Use of the reboot option may result in an endless installation loop, depending on
the installation media and method.
repo ( o p t io nal)
Configures additional yum repositories that may be used as sources for package
installation. Multiple repo lines may be specified.
repo --name=<repoid> [--baseurl=<url>| --mirrorlist=<url>]
--name= — The repo id. This option is required.
--baseurl= — The URL for the repository. The variables that may be used in yum repo
config files are not supported here. You may use one of either this option or --mirrorlist,
not both.
