      Section number and name:

      18.16. Converting a root disk to RAID1 after installation

      Describe the issue:

      The current documentation  suggests executing grub2-install on the whole disk . The documentation should be corrected to specify the PReP Boot Partition as the target for the grub2-install command on PowerPC architectures.

      ~~~
      Note
      Executing the grub2-install /dev/sda command does not work on a PowerPC machine and returns an error, but the system boots as expected.

      ~~~ 

      Also the currently referenced KCS article is specific to RHEL 7. There is another kcs specifically available for RHEL9. https://access.redhat.com/solutions/7055575 

      Impact of this issue:

      System may not boot up correctly if grub2-install execute against whole disk.

      Suggestions for improvement:

      Replace the current kcs (2390831) with the equivalent RHEL 9 article: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/7055575

      Also update below note:

      ~~~
      Note
      Executing the grub2-install /dev/sda1 command does not work on a PowerPC machine and returns an error, but the system boots as expected.
