I am using SLES 15 SP3. I need to setup RAID1 with LVM using autoyast.xml
In the AutoYast guide, I found examples of how to setup:
They seem pretty straightforward and I even tried them and it works fine. But I could not find any example of how to setup both of them using AutoYast.
Then I found some examples using command line
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Raid1_with_LVM_from_scratch
https://linuxconfig.org/linux-lvm-logical-volume-manager
so, I followed the instructions and setup LVM RAID1
# lvdisplay
--- Logical volume ---
LV Path /dev/nitin-vgr1/nitin-lvr1
LV Name nitin-lvr1
VG Name nitin-vgr1
LV UUID kPeOlZ-1laD-faVM-o20q-wd0y-wala-N3kMNq
LV Write Access read/write
LV Creation host, time nit, 2021-11-13 17:28:19 +0000
LV Status available
# open 1
LV Size 49.99 GiB
Current LE 12798
Mirrored volumes 2
Segments 1
Allocation inherit
Read ahead sectors auto
- currently set to 1024
Block device 254:9
Each disk was 50 GBs (/dev/sdd and /dev/sde) , LV Size = 49.99 GiB so that makes sense
Mirrored Volumes is also set to 2. So seems like RAID1 conf was working fine
And I was also aware of the command yast clone_system (this basically generates the autoyast.xml fpr running system which contains system configurations details)
but unfortunately this didn't work as excepted:
this was the output(I removed all other unnecessary stuff)

</partitioning>
I don't feel this is correct. There is no mention of RAID1 here.
Can anyone please help me out here. Its been 2 days and I haven't been able to figure out how to do this. Any help would be appreciated.
