How can it be ensured that only specific drives will be used for partitioning during the kickstart installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 ?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • With Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 kickstart installations, anaconda stops with an error, if told to ignore disks that do not exist.
  • When a generic kickstart file is to be used for installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 on multiple systems, is there a way to ensure that the partitioning during installation ignores all but specifc drives, like '/dev/sda', in all the systems ?

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
  • Kickstart installations.
