Doc Text:	RHV-H 4.4.3 is based on RHEL 8.3, which uses a new version of Anaconda (BZ#1691319). This new combination introduces a regression that breaks the features that BZ#1777886 "[RFE] Support minimal storage layout for RHVH" added to RHV-H 4.4 GA. This regression affects only new installations of RHV-H 4.4.3. To work around this issue, first install the RHV-H 4.4 GA ISO and then upgrade the host to RHV-H 4.4.3.	Story Points:	---

Description Sandro Bonazzola 2020-10-08 14:43:23 UTC

In RHV-H 4.4.3 we are rebasing on top of RHEL 8.3.
RHEL 8.3 introduces a new version of Anaconda (bug #1691319) which introduces a regression in RHV-H. The features introduced in RHV-H 4.4 by Bug #1777886 - "[RFE] Support minimal storage layout for RHVH" doesn't work anymore.

This affects only new installations so a workaround is to install RHV-H 4.4 with the GA ISO and then upgrade it to 4.4.3.

It appears that this is ready for inclusion in the 4.4.3 Release Notes, so I'm moving to RELEASE_PENDING.

Comment 9 Steve Goodman 2020-11-02 15:50:04 UTC

Hi Alex,

You are right. As far as I can tell this doesn't affect RHEL.

Comment 10 Germano Veit Michel 2020-11-19 00:02:21 UTC

Is there a bug for the anaconda issue and/or a RHVH bug to track the anaconda bug?

Comment 11 Steve Goodman 2020-11-19 08:26:25 UTC

Sandro, please see comment 10.

Anaconda bug is filed: Bug #1887370 - Define the default partitioning by mount points

Comment 13 Sandro Bonazzola 2020-11-26 10:53:00 UTC

Also opened bug #1901878 to track the rebase on RHEL 8.4 and added it there as dependency.

Thank you!
