I am using SLES 15 SP3. I need to setup RAID1 with LVM using autoyast.xml
In the AutoYast guide, I found examples of how to setup:
They seem pretty straightforward and I even tried them and it works fine. But I could not find any example of how to setup both of them using AutoYast.
Then I found some examples using command line
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Raid1_with_LVM_from_scratch
https://linuxconfig.org/linux-lvm-logical-volume-manager
so, I followed the instructions and setup LVM RAID1
# lvdisplay --- Logical volume --- LV Path /dev/nitin-vgr1/nitin-lvr1 LV Name nitin-lvr1 VG Name nitin-vgr1 LV UUID kPeOlZ-1laD-faVM-o20q-wd0y-wala-N3kMNq LV Write Access read/write LV Creation host, time nit, 2021-11-13 17:28:19 +0000 LV Status available # open 1 LV Size 49.99 GiB Current LE 12798 Mirrored volumes 2 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 1024 Block device 254:9 Each disk was 50 GBs (/dev/sdd and /dev/sde) , LV Size = 49.99 GiB so that makes sense
Mirrored Volumes is also set to 2. So seems like RAID1 conf was working fine
And I was also aware of the command yast clone_system (this basically generates the autoyast.xml fpr running system which contains system configurations details) but unfortunately this didn't work as excepted:
this was the output(I removed all other unnecessary stuff)
<partitioning t="list"> <drive t="map"> <device>/dev/nitin-vgr1</device> <partitions t="list"> <partition t="map"> <create t="boolean">true</create> <filesystem t="symbol">ext4</filesystem> <format t="boolean">false</format> <fstopt>rw,relatime</fstopt> <lv_name>nitin-lvr1</lv_name> <mount>/nit-raid</mount> <mountby t="symbol">device</mountby> <pool t="boolean">false</pool> <resize t="boolean">false</resize> <size>53678702592</size> <stripes t="integer">2</stripes> <stripesize t="integer">0</stripesize> </partition> </partitions> <pesize>4194304</pesize> <type t="symbol">CT_LVM</type> </drive> <drive t="map"> <device>/dev/sdd</device> <disklabel>none</disklabel> <partitions t="list"> <partition t="map"> <create t="boolean">false</create> <format t="boolean">false</format> <lvm_group>nitin-vgr1</lvm_group> <resize t="boolean">false</resize> </partition> </partitions> <type t="symbol">CT_DISK</type> <use>all</use> </drive> <drive t="map"> <device>/dev/sde</device> <disklabel>none</disklabel> <partitions t="list"> <partition t="map"> <create t="boolean">false</create> <format t="boolean">false</format> <lvm_group>nitin-vgr1</lvm_group> <resize t="boolean">false</resize> </partition> </partitions> <type t="symbol">CT_DISK</type> <use>all</use> </drive> </partitioning> I don't feel this is correct. There is no mention of RAID1 here.
Can anyone please help me out here. Its been 2 days and I haven't been able to figure out how to do this. Any help would be appreciated.
