We're moving a bunch of sles servers to a new SAN. This process changes the ID of the hard drives. We're able to modify menu.lst and fstab to use /dev/sda1, etc, but when you do a kernel update, the grub gets re-written using the old had drive ID.
I found /boot/grub/device.map has the old ID in it, but I'm not sure if changing that is enough.
What is best practice for modifying/updating a system that now has a new device id?
I always specify LABEL/by-label during installation, but it appears DEVICE_NAMES= in /etc/sysconfig/storage may be what controls this and what you need to change. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
