Hi, I'm trying to setup the provisioning of new OpenStack hypervisors with cinder volumes on them. The problem is that kickstart doesn't allow dashed in volume group names? I tried this:
volgroup cinder-volumes --pesize=4096 pv.02
and this:
volgroup cinder--volumes --pesize=4096 pv.02
but in both cases I end up with a volume group named "cindervolumes" on the system. Any idea what I have to do to accomplish this? Defining VGs with dashes works perfectly fine on the command line.
Regards, Denis
Hi Dennis
Did you try to screen it via "" ? i.e. "volgroup cinder-volumes --pesize=4096 pv.02" ?

Just tried this and the volume group still ends up as "cindervolumes".

Dunno why you're insisting on putting dashes in the name, but have you tried volgroup 'cinder-volumes', with single quotes around the name?

Since LVs can be referenced in a way that contains dashes, I expect dashes may not be allowed.
See these examples: /dev/vgname/logvolname /dev/mapper/vgname-logvolname
But the following excerpt from "man lvm" doesn't support my thought.
VALID NAMES The following characters are valid for VG and LV names: a-z A-Z 0-9 + _ . -
VG and LV names cannot begin with a hyphen. There are also various reserved names that are used internally by lvm that can not be used as LV or VG names. A VG cannot be called anything that exists in /dev/ at the time of creation, nor can it be called '.' or '..'. A LV can‐ not be called '.' '..' 'snapshot' or 'pvmove'. The LV name may also not contain the strings '_mlog', '_mimage', '_rimage', '_tdata', '_tmeta'.
I tried this:
volgroup cinder-volumes --pesize=4096 pv.02
and this:
volgroup cinder--volumes --pesize=4096 pv.02
but in both cases I end up with a volume group named "cindervolumes" on the system. Any idea what I have to do to accomplish this?
Underscores work just fine. You might consider using underscores instead of dashes.
Defining VGs with dashes works perfectly fine on the command line.
As maxxik suggests, you may consider escaping the hypen/dash.

If you have commands that work on the command line, try adding them to the post install section of the kickstart file.

It seems so.

If I understand it correct then it should have been fixed long ago. I tried it.
CentOS 5 does *not* strip the dash Fedora 18 does *not* strip the dash but CentOS 6 *does strip* the dash
It seems like a regression. You are using CentOS 6, aren't you? Would you mind filing a bugzilla?
