Created attachment 850437 [details] kernel panic Description of problem: Reinstall rhevh on ibm-x3650m3 RAID-5 run into kernel panic. On screen it reports: "Found duplicate PV ceMGFGzzzAZS..HhW: using /dev/sdc4 not /dev/sdb4" "dracut: FATAL: LV '/dev/sdc4' is a member of VG "HostVG' and must be included in $storage_init" "dracut: FATAL: Not all member PVs of HostVG are given in the storage_init parameter, exiting" The workaround is add "storage_init=/dev/sdb,/dev/sdc" into kernel command line.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhevh-6.5-20140110.1.iso How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install rhevh-6.5-20140110.1 2. try reinstall it 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Could it be that he IO errors appear because the multipath device is not used?
Any update here? Otherwise I consider to close this as not a bug because of missing data.
Fabian - I'm not able to reproduce this since I don't have the correct environment, but I have a tentative fix for this that I need to resubmit to get an image built for testing... The problem occurs in our dracut cleanup scripts when multipathed devices show up as multiple disparate devices with the same volume name. I'll get a build out for testing.
