Dear all,
We're trying to setup an SLES9 SP3 system on a z/VM guest with autoyast.
We would like to pre-defined an autoinst.xml file.
It looks like the <dasd>...</dasd> section is mandatory since autoyast
does not get the dasd hardware settings "on the fly". Unfortunately we
don't know the mdisk id a priori, so that we currently are modifying the
autoinst.xml file manually for every system with a different mdisk id.
Replacing the autoinst.xml file with a new one during the pre-installation
step (as described in the SLES documentation) does not work since hardware
detection is done before pre-installation. Simply omiting the
<dasd>...</dasd> section did not work since yast stops working after
hardware detection since it does not detect any disk to install the system
on. I tried to add a dasd= (resp. DASD=) parameter to the parmfile but it
doesn't help detecting the disks.
Does anybody know what we could do to omit that <dasd>...</dasd> section
from the autoinst.xml file? Can we specify the mdisk id in that section
with a placeholder? Or has it really to be hardcoded in the autoinst.xml
file?
