Description of problem:
Auto install RHEV-H failed into device that wasn't managed by multipath with "iscsi_install" parameter.

BOOTIF=eth0 storage_init=/dev/sdb,/dev/sdc iscsi_init=/dev/sdc iscsi_target_name=iqn.2008-09.com.redhat:rhevh iscsi_install iscsi_server=10.66.72.61:3260
firstboot

the disk /dev/sdb wasn't managed by multipath
Auto install failed with error info "ERROR-install-Grub Installation Failed"

maybe issue happen follow install.py patch 
 def grub_install(self):
        if is_iscsi_install():
            self.disk = re.sub("p[1,2,3]$", "", findfs(self.boot_candidate))
        device_map = "(hd0) %s" % self.disk
        logger.debug(device_map)


change into:
  def grub_install(self):
        if is_iscsi_install():
            self.disk = findfs(self.boot_candidate)
            if not "/dev/mapper/" in self.disk:
                    self.disk = self.disk[:-1]
            else:
                    self.disk = re.sub("p[1,2,3]$", "", self.disk)
        device_map = "(hd0) %s" % self.disk
        logger.debug(device_map)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhev-hypervisor6-6.4-20121126.0.el6

How reproducible:
100%
  
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Auto install rhev-h with 
with "BOOTIF=eth0 storage_init=/dev/sdb,/dev/sdc iscsi_init=/dev/sdc iscsi_target_name=iqn.2008-09.com.redhat:rhevh iscsi_install iscsi_server=10.66.72.61:3260
 firstboot" parameter

Actual result:
After Step 1, Auto install RHEV-H failed into device that wasn't managed by multipath with "iscsi_install" parameter.

Expect result:
After Step 1, Auto install RHEV-H success into device that wasn't managed by multipath with "iscsi_install" parameter.

Comment 9 haiyang,dong 2013-10-19 10:06:31 UTC
Test version:
rhev-hypervisor6-6.5-20131017.0.iso
ovirt-node-3.0.1-4.el6

Test step:
BOOTIF=eth0 storage_init=/dev/vda,/dev/sda iscsi_init=/dev/sda iscsi_target_name=iqn.2013-01.com:hadong iscsi_install iscsi_server=10.66.11.127:3260 firstboot

the boot device /dev/vda wasn't managed by multipath
Auto install still failed with another error info "Unable to find boot partition".

The root cause is due to it create BootBackup using "mke2fs /dev/vdap3 -L BootBackup"
actually it should be "mke2fs /dev/vda3 -L BootBackup".

so need re-assigned this bug.

Comment 14 haiyang,dong 2013-11-01 07:19:09 UTC
Test version:
rhevh-6.5-20131031.1.0.iso
ovirt-node-3.0.1-7.el6

Test step:
BOOTIF=eth0 storage_init=/dev/vda,/dev/sda iscsi_init=/dev/sda iscsi_target_name=iqn.2013-01.com:hadong iscsi_install iscsi_server=10.66.11.127:3260 firstboot

the boot device /dev/vda wasn't managed by multipath
Auto install success and also could login rhev-h 

so this bug has been fixed, after the status of this bug change into "ON_QA", i will verify it.

Comment 15 haiyang,dong 2013-11-01 12:36:48 UTC
