2.1.2. Enabling Forced Detection of SSDs

Certain solid-state drives (SSDs) may not be autodetectable by the installer. This may result in issues when you create or join Virtuozzo Storage clusters. To avoid this problem, you can force the installer to identify the required drives as SSDs by doing the following:

  1. Select the required installation option (e.g., Install Virtuozzo 7) and press E to start editing it.
  2. Add ssd_hack=sd<N>[,…] at the end of the line starting with linux /images/pxeboot/vmlinuz. For example:

    linux /images/pxeboot/vmlinuz inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=vz-iso-7.0.0-3589.iso quiet ip=dhcp ssd_hack=sdb,sdc
  3. Press CTRL-X to start booting the chosen installation option.

The installer should identify the specified drives as SSDs.
