[opensuse-autoinstall] AutoYast device type to determine partition layout. Feature request or existing functionality?
Hi, Novell customer asked the following: "Currently, we can set the XML AY profiles to install to /dev/cciss/c0d0 or /dev/sda for example. In the case of servers with Boot-from-SAN or Solid State Drivers, this can cause some device naming confusion. Wouldn*t it be cool if AutoYaST could take the device type (i.e. *IBM 2145*), size of disk or LUN ID as a parameter to determine the partition layout to apply?" Is this currently possible?

Hi, you can do that easily with a combination of custom rules and, for example, dmidecode.
