Problem:
We introduced a field in Harvester config named
wipeDisks
which when set ran a script in the installer to iterate over all disk devices visible to the host and wipe them.This ended up being too aggressive, not to mention not all disks may contain old Harvester installations.
Solution:
PR introduces two new fields in the harvester config wipeDisksList and wipeAllDisks and drops the old wipeDisks introduced in v1.3
There is an extra panel in disk configuration page. The extra panel contains a drop down menu which gets rendered and populated if installer finds additional disks with existing elemental based installations which are not already used in install device or additional data device.
The extra
Wipe Disks
panels will only be available when there are additional disks visible to the host which have a partition withCOS_OEM
label and such disk is not already being used inInstall Device
orInstall Data Device
.User can also pass these fields via ipxe using the following two new fields
or
wipeAllDisks
uses the same logic as the installersWipe Disks Panel
where it will identify additional disks withCOS_OEM
partition which are not already being used asInstall Device
orInstall Data Device
