RES-32DCX Installation Manual
Also, do not select this option if you have information that you want to keep on the
hard drive(s) where you are installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Keep all partitions and use existing free space. Select this option to retain your
current data and partitions, assuming you have enough free space available on your
hard drive(s).
Using your mouse, choose the hard drive(s) on which you want Red Hat Enterprise
Linux to be installed. If you have two or more hard drives, you can choose which
hard drive(s) should contain this installation. Unselected hard drives, and any data
on them, are not touched.
A /boot/ partition is also necessary for software RAID setups. If you have chosen to
automatically partition your system, you should select
Review and manually edit
your /boot/ partition.
To review and make any necessary changes to the partitions created by automatic
partitioning, select the
Review option. After selecting Review and clicking Next to
move forward, the partitions created for you in Disk Druid appear. You can make
modifications to these partitions if they do not meet your needs.
Click Next once you have made your selections to proceed.
D.2.2.5 Partitioning Your System
If you choose automatic partitioning and did not select Review , skip and go ahead.
If you choose automatic partitioning and selected Review , you can either accept the
current partition settings (click Next ), or modify the setup using Disk Druid , the
manual partitioning tool.
If you choose to partition manually, you must tell the installation program where to
install Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This is done by defining mount points for one or
more disk partitions in which Red Hat Enterprise Linux is installed. You may also
need to create and/or delete partitions at this time.
Note: If you have a RAID card, be aware that some BIOS do not support booting
from the RAID card. In cases such as these, the /boot/ partition must be created
on a partition outside of the RAID array, such as on a separate hard drive. An in-
ternal hard drive is necessary to use for partition creation with problematic RAID
cards.
