Antwort: Re: [suse-autoinstall] Autoyast and LVM
Hi, we have the same problem here with SLES8. Our Workaround is to have an additional autoyast-config without LVM, so we wipe out any lvm information on the disks, before we install the server. Of course it would be nicer, if this bug would be solved ;-) Kind regards Andreas Rother UNIX-Systemadministration -- Andreas Rother - E-Plus Mobilfunk GmbH & Co.

Hi everybody,
I'm using Autoyast and LVM together successfully during the first installation. But when I try a second installation on the same node, yast2 says that Volume Groups allready exist and doesn't format the lvols.
Can I force YaST to create pvs ignoring that they are already in a vg?
Thanks for help.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Tobias Mucke

Hi! Maybe this would work: From the documentation (http://www.suse.de/~nashif/autoinstall/8.1/html/c326.html#AEN690): Pre-Install Scripts Executed before YaST2 does any real change of the system (Before partitioning ~~~~~ and package installation) So, make such a script and do a: vgscan vgchange -a y lvremove /dev/myvg/mvlv lv remove /dev/myvg/mylv2 [..] vgchange -a n vgremove myvg If you have different systems with different vg's/lv's, then you could write a script which does these steps automaticly (get the lv/vg from the output from vgscan & lvscan).
