At a terminal console prompt, enter the EVMS Ncurses command as the
root
user or
equivalent:
evmsn
2
Review the output to verify that EVMS shows only the
/boot
and
swap
partitions as active in
EVMS.
You should see the following devices mounted (with your own partition names, of course) for
these two partitions:
/dev/evms/sda1
/dev/evms/sda2
3
At a terminal console prompt, enter the following to update the
initrd
image with the
/dev/
evms
path information for the root (
/
) partition:
/sbin/mkinitrd -f evms
This does not take effect until you restart the server.

Continue with
Section 2.2.6, “Restart the Server,” on page 26
.
2.2.6 Restart the Server
1
Restart the server to apply the post-install configuration settings.
When your system restarts, the kernel loads the
init-ramdisk
, which runs the EVMS tools to
activate your volumes and mount your root file system. Then your boot scripts run the EVMS
tools once more to make sure your
/dev/evms/
directory correctly reflects the current state of
your volumes. Finally, the remaining EVMS volumes are mounted as specified in your
/etc/
fstab
file. Everything else on your system should start up as you would normally expect.

Continue with
Section 2.2.7, “Verify that EVMS Manages the Boot, Swap, and Root
Partitions,” on page 26
.
2.2.7 Verify that EVMS Manages the Boot, Swap, and Root

) partitions as active
in EVMS.
You should see the following devices mounted (with your own partition names, of course)
under the
/dev/evms
directory:
/dev/evms/sda1
/dev/evms/sda2
/dev/evms/sda3
