issue in autoyast with SAN boot lun disk

SUSE Product Topics SLES Install-Boot
1

Hello,

I have created sles 12 preloaded ISO image using autoyast, and the environment is cisco ucs blade server with SAN boot lun, the preloaded ISO image is working if i use this on same hardware, but if i use this on other blade server getting below error.

“No hard disks were found for the installation, please check your hardware”

Below are the entry in autoyast.xml file.

false resume=/dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxxxx splash=silent quiet showopts false false 
<drive>
  <device>/dev/mapper/xxxxxxx</device>
  <disklabel>msdos</disklabel>

Thanks

Hi Maheshkumar,

I’d expect the UUID not to be portable across hardware instances (“universally unique id” says it all), and as you’ve left out what /dev/mapper/xxxxxxxx is mapping to, I guess it’s a related issue?

Hi Jmozdzen,

Yes, you are correct, seems i need to modify autoyast.xml file with some script, and i can see few updates for SLES11 in below link, but i am not understanding what they mentioned in below link.
