18.5. Converting Root Disk to RAID1 after Installation
If you need to convert a non-raided root disk to a RAID1 mirror after installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, see the instructions in the following Red Hat Knowledgebase article: How do I convert my root disk to RAID1 after installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7?
On the PowerPC (PPC) architecture, take the following additional steps:
- Copy the contents of the PowerPC Reference Platform (PReP) boot partition from
/dev/sda1
to/dev/sdb1
:#
dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1
- Update the Prep and boot flag on the first partition on both disks:
$
parted /dev/sda set 1 prep on
$
parted /dev/sda set 1 boot on
$
parted /dev/sdb set 1 prep on
$
parted /dev/sdb set 1 boot on
Note
Running the
grub2-install /dev/sda
command does not work on a PowerPC machine and returns an error, but the system boots as expected.
