I need to create a kickstart configuration file for a server which has 2 raid groups: raid 1+0 and raid 5. /, /boot, swap and other partitions should be created on raid 1+0. Can you guys shed some light n it.

Is the server going to be a file server, running SQL Server, etc? – jl. Jul 6 '10 at 13:09

AfaIk you need to specify cciss/c0d0 for the first raid on the first controler and cciss/c0d1 for the second raid on the first controler.

This is from one of my kickstart files:

bootloader --location=mbr --driveorder=cciss/c0d0 --append="rhgb quiet"
clearpart --linux --drives=cciss/c0d0
part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 --ondisk=cciss/c0d0
part pv.2 --size=0 --grow --ondisk=cciss/c0d0
volgroup VolGroup00 --pesize=32768 pv.2
logvol swap --fstype swap --name=LogVol01 --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=1000 --grow --maxsize
=9984
logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=LogVol00 --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=1024 --grow --maxsize=30000

It creates a small boot partition and a partition for a physical volume, creates the physical volume, one volumegroup and the required logical volumes (I use LVM = Logical Volume Manager). The root filesystem consumes only 30 GB of the volumegroup.
