13. Centos/RHEL 7 - Fix LVM boot issues after migration from ESXi to VirtualBox 2018-04-20

    tags: boot, bootloader/grub, filesystem, filesystem/lvm, fstab, linux, linux/centos, linux/kernel, linux/red-hat

    [ permalink ]

    Here are the steps I used to migrate a CentOS 7 VM from (presumably?) an ESXi server, to a local VirtualBox environment.

    The LVM volumes were not detected at boot, and after the boot timeout, the OS fell back to the Dracut emergency shell.

    • get a CentOS minimal installation CD
    • check the VM's resources and peripherals:
      • ensure there are no floppy drives (!)
      • setup CPU and RAM resources
      • check virtual drives
      • add an SCSI optical drive if needed
    • optional: convert the virtual drive images from VMDK to VDI
    • mount the CentOS installation disc
    • boot on the installation disc:
      • select "Troubleshooting", then "Rescue"
      • let the rescue utility detect filesystems and mountpoints
    • $ chroot to the detected environment
    • backup files:
      • /etc/fstab
      • /boot/grub/grub.cfg
    • under /boot, backup the initrd and initramfs for the current configuration (these will be overwritten)
    • compare the current /etc/fstab with the output of $ lsblk and $ blkid
    • if needed, manually edit /etc/fstab to use the appropriate block device UUIDs, identifiers and mountpoints
    • regenerate GRUB configuration:
      • $ grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
    • if needed, reinstall GRUB:
      • $ grub-install /dev/sda
    • rebuild initrd:
      • $ mkinitrd --force /boot/<initrd_image> <kernel_version>
    • rebuild initramfs:
      • $ dracut --force <kernel_version>
    • exit the chroot
    • unmount the installation disc
    • reboot
    • optional but highly recommended: cross your fingers
    • ...
    • profit!

    "tl;dr: You want to teach yourself vim (the best text editor known to human kind) in the fastest way possible. This is my way of doing it. You start by learning the minimal to survive, then you integrate all the tricks slowly."

    Though a bit biased, it for sure is an interesting read

    A man walks into a men's room and observes n empty urinals. Which urinal should he pick so as to maximize his chances of maintaining privacy, i.e., minimize the chance that someone will occupy a urinal beside him?
