Description gowrav 2011-03-29 08:42:08 UTC 
Description of problem:
While installing RHEL 6.1 OS via PXE boot method, the installer does not show "High Availability" and other related packages entry to be selected during OS Installation. During installation when OS Customization option is selected, the installer is not showing the "High Avalibility, Load Balancer" options for installation. This is seen only when OS is installed via PXE boot. When OS is installed using DVD disc, the installer shows "High Avaliability, Load Balancer" options of installation.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Kernel - 2.6.32-122.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Set up a PXE server to install RHEL 6.1 OS.
2) Kick the OS installation on any host using PXE boot.
3) Browse through the installation screen until "OS Customization" screen is reached.
4) Choose "Customize now" option and click "Next" button.
5) In the subsequent screen various packages will be displayed in left-hand side box to be selected for installation. Whereas, "High Availability" package is not displayed.
  
Actual results:
"High Availability" and related packages are NOT displayed for selection during OS installation via PXE boot.

Expected results:
"High Availability" and related packages should be displayed for selection during OS installation irrespective of the OS installation method.

Please attach /tmp/anaconda.log and /tmp/syslog to this bug report.

Also, just to verify - what method are you using for your install media during pxe boot, and does it contain the HA directory?

Just to confirm, these logs should be from pxe OS installation. Am I correct?

I'm using the ISO images that was provided by RedHat to partners. Yes, the pxe installation OS folder does contain HA folder. I confirm it.

Correct - at the end of installation, when you are looking at the congrats screen, switch to tty2 on the machine you're installing onto and grab those files.  Thanks.
Comment 7 RHEL Program Management 2011-04-04 02:50:32 UTC 
Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Hi Chris, 
Any updates on this bug?
Comment 12 gowrav 2011-06-02 05:32:29 UTC 
There were few hidden files that were not getting copies to PXE server during configuration.Manually copying those hidden files to PXE server made HA packages visible for installation. 
It's working for me now.
