Prerequisites

  • The system requirements for installing MicroShift have been met.

  • You have configured your LVM VG with the capacity needed for the PVs of your workload.

Procedure

  1. In the graphical installer under Installation Destination in the Storage Configuration subsection, select Custom → Done to open the dialog for configuring partitions and volumes. The Manual Partitioning window is displayed.

  2. Under New Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.x Installation, select Click here to create them automatically.

  3. Select the root partition, /, reduce Desired Capacity so that the VG has sufficient capacity for your PVs, and then click Update Settings.

  4. Complete your installation.

    Note

  5. As a root user, verify the VG capacity available on your system by running the following command:
