erase-data-disks-skip

Controls whether data disks are protected from erasure during OS installation

This parameter controls the scope of disk erasure operations during OS installation.

When set to true (default): - Only the operating-system-disk will be erased - All other disks are protected and preserved - RAID metadata, partition tables, and filesystem signatures are only removed from the OS disk - This is the safer option for systems with valuable data on secondary disks

When set to false: - ALL disks in the system will be erased - This includes the operating-system-disk and all data disks - RAID metadata, partition tables, and filesystem signatures are removed from all disks - Use with extreme caution as this will destroy all data on the system

The operating-system-disk is defined by the "operating-system-disk" parameter (e.g., /dev/sda).

Default: true (data disk protection enabled)
