RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
Installing RHEL 7.3 over 6.7GA, results in error message and quitting install.

It seems like the 7.3 install can't handle the LVM VG from 6.7 and chokes on install.

Once the VG is manually removed, the 7.3 install will continue and not error.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-6.7-20150702.0
RHEL-7.3-20160502.n.0

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install 6.7GA
2. Install 7.3
3.

I am putting Regression in the "Keywords" since I am installing RHEL 7.1 now and it has no bug that is seen in RHEL 7.3.

What exactly happens when you run an installation over the problematic lvm layout using 7.1? How about 7.2?

It would also be useful if you could run the following commands in the installer environment (after the failure has occurred) and attach the output files:

  lsblk >/tmp/lsblk.out

  udevadm --export-db >/tmp/udevdb


Thanks.

That udevadm command should have been:

  udevadm info --export-db >/tmp/udevdb

I have retested RHEL-6.7-20160427.1 to RHEL-7.3-20160817.1 and will verify this bug to be closed since this worked.
