I completed the install as described below which went well.
I then copied the contents of /boot/efi to /boot/efi_copy using
cd /boot rsync -acr efi/ efi_copy
I then installed grub2 on sdb
yum install yum install grub2-efi-modules grub2-install /dev/sdb
everything ran as expected with no errors. The instructions then said to test the install by powering off and swapping sda and sdb. Instead, I just unplugged sda.
When I booted the system loaded straight into a grub> prompt.
I powered off and reconnected sda hoping to be able to continue experimenting. However, even with sda reconnected it just boots into a grub> prompt.
Anyone got suggestions what to do next?
(This server is not live, so can be wiped / experimented on)

I've just finished installing a new Bacula storeage server. Prior to doing the install I did some research and ended up deciding to do the following config.
6x4TB drives /boot/efi efi_fs sda1 /boot/efi_copy efi_fs sdb1 /boot xfs RAID1 sda2 sdb2 VG RAID6 all drives containing SWAP / /home /var/bacula
Questions:
- The big problem with this is that it is dependant on sda for booting. I
did find an aritcle on how to set up boot loading on multiple HDD's, including cloning /boot/efi but I now can't find it. Does anyone know of a similar article?
- is putting SWAP in a RAID a good idea? Will it help, will it cause
problems? _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
