Topic

Updated pykickstart packages that fix multiple bugs and add two enhancements are
now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The pykickstart package contains a python library for manipulating kickstart
files.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • If using the "raid" command with the "--useexisting" option without specifying

the members that were part of the RAID set, the system installation failed with
the following error message on system startup:

Partitions required for raid

With this update, the library scripts check if the RAID members are defined and,
if this is not the case, the scripts raise an error. (BZ#758603)

  • It was not possible to configure and use multipath for iSCSI devices using

different network interfaces on one subnet during installation as all devices
used the default network interface. The "--iface[number]" option has been
provided for the "iscsi" command to allow explicit specification of interface
binding.

This update also adds the following enhancements:

  • The "part" command can now take the "--hibernation" option, which allows

specifying the size of the swap partition. The existing "--recommended" option
follows the Installation Guide swap recommendation, which is not necessarily
correct for all systems. This new option allows for a different sizing algorithm
that can be more suitable, especially if the system uses hibernation.
(BZ#821315)

  • Logical Volume groups can now have free space reserved using either the

"--reserved-space" or "--reserved-percent" parameters. The "--reserved-space"
option takes a number representing megabytes as its argument, while the
"--reserved-percent" option takes a number representing the percentage of the
volume group that should be left free. The options can only be used for volume
groups created during installation. (BZ#790457)

All users of pykickstart are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix these bugs and add these enhancements.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat
Network to apply this update are available at
