[opensuse-autoinstall] unattendend Install with IMSM RAID not working
Hello, I'm trying to do a fully unattended Install of SLES 11 SP2 on a System with a configured RAID by Intel Matrix Storage Manager. Everything is running well except that i get a message "You are running an Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager compatible platform The following MD-compatible RAID devices were detected: Volume0 If they are clean devices or conatain partitions, you can use MD Partitionable RAID Subsystem to handle them. In case of a clean device you will be able to install a System on it and boot from such a RAID. Do you want MD Partitionable RAID Subsystem to manage These partitions?" If i answer Yes on that Message everything goes well and the Installation is running fully unattendend. How can i get rid of that message? Thanks in advance!

yast2-storage/libstorage check the environment variable LIBSTORAGE_IMSM_DRIVER. For forcing it to use mdadm partitionable raid you need to set to "MDADM". You can e.g. add LIBSTORAGE_IMSM_DRIVER=MDADM to boot command prompt, this puts it into environment of started yast2.

Hello, thanks for the quick response. I forgot to mention that I'm doing a Network Install via PXE-Boot. And I don't know where to set that parameter since I haven't got a "boot prompt"?

The PXE server should have an "append" line in its PXE config. If you use autoyast you should have an autoyast=.... entry there Just add LIBSTORAGE_IMSM_DRIVER=MDADM to this append line.
