      Customer would like to be able to customize the naming of the LVM layout, that includes:

      • the VG names
      • the LV names
      • Attaching an LV to a given VG (e.g. on a "datavg")

      The existing naming allows to distinguish the partitions based on their names (e.g. rootvg-var_loglv) but it does not meet their standards.

       

      Customer feedback:
      Reason:
      Having very little control over the LVM layer means that we can not implement our business requirements when building images to be used by our company.
      Our company has it's own naming standards which helps us to ensure our automation can be guaranteed to function. We use Ansible to manage our systems and we have standard format when dealing with filesystems. Not having the flexibility for us to control the naming, means we are left with only two options.

      1. Update all our systems to the new default naming standard for image builder
      2. Have two different standards:
      i. for systems built before using image builder
      ii. for systems built using image builder

      Image-builder product should really have the same controls and flexibility that is provided to users building a kickstart profile in satellite. Kickstart is great product but is not applicable to systems running in the cloud.
