Description oarribas 2020-11-16 18:01:01 UTC

Document URL:

https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.6/installing/installing_bare_metal/installing-bare-metal.html#installation-user-infra-machines-advanced_vardisk_installing-bare-metal


Section Number and Name:

Creating a separate /var partition


Describe the issue:

- Missing information to create a separate partition for `/var/lib/etcd`.

- Missing information in the installation documents for other platforms.



Suggestions for improvement: 

- Add information about creating a separate partition for `/var/lib/etcd`.

- Add an example to configure a separate partition for `/var/lib/etcd`.

- Add the same documentation to other platforms (in UPI installations), as currently it's only in the Bare Metal installation guide.

Comment 5 Bob Furu 2020-12-09 18:52:59 UTC

PR approved and merged (https://github.com/openshift/openshift-docs/pull/27810), cherry-picked to OCP 4.6, 4.7 docs (bare metal and vSphere UPI). For example, it is now published here: https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.6/installing/installing_vsphere/installing-vsphere-network-customizations.html

Closing BZ.
