Softlayer Java : Custom partitions lost after OS RELOAD

Question

I placed an order for BareMetal and used storage groups. We received the order correctly but, after an OS reload we lost all the custom partition for other storage groups.

Here is an example:
storageGroups = [ { "arraySize": 1998, "arrayTypeId": 2, "hardDrives": [ 0, 1 ], "partitionTemplateId": 1 }, { "arraySize": 500, "arrayTypeId": 2, "hardDrives": [ 2, 3 ], # The custom partitions only work on other storage groups # different from the primary one "partitions": [ { "isGrow": true, "name": "/test1", "size": 100 } ] }, { "arraySize": 2264, "arrayTypeId": 9, "hardDrives": [ 4, ], "partitions": [ { "isGrow": true, "name": "/test2", "size": 500 } ] }, { "arraySize": 2264, "arrayTypeId": 9, "hardDrives": [ 5, ], "partitions": [ { "isGrow": true, "name": "/test3", "size": 500 } ] } ]
After OS reload, df -k only shows:

Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 xxxxxxxxxx 1290396 xxxxxxxxxx 1% / devtmpfs xxxxxxxx 0 xxxxxxxx 0% /dev tmpfs xxxxxxxx 0 xxxxxxxx 0% /dev/shm tmpfs xxxxxxxx 9316 xxxxxxxx 1% /run tmpfs xxxxxxxx 0 xxxxxxxx 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/sda1 xxxxxx 136776 xxxxxx 55% /boot tmpfs xxxxxxx 0 xxxxxxx 0% /run/user/0

I am using reloadOperatingSystem("FORCE", config) and only setting ssh keys in the Configuration. How can I retain the custom partitions after OS reload for the above example - /test1, /test2, /test3? Have I to create Component object and add to getHardDrives() of Configuration class?

Answer 1

It is not adding all the entries to /etc/fstab after reboot so, df -k is not showing the details. I will be manually adding the entries to /etc/fstab, to avoid the above problem.

Answer 2

The custom partitions should be kept if you don't change the OS in a reload process. In case that you are doing an OS reload with a different OS, it's necessary to send again the custom partitions in config.
