Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.
The "DASD=" option in the CMS configuration file defines the Direct Access Storage Device (DASD) or range of DASDs to configure during the installation. To indicate that no DASD is present, remove the option from the configuration file because specifying "DASD=none" is not valid.
With this update specifying "DASD=none" is possible again.
Description of problem:
RHEL 7 RC Installation under z/VM: For FCP only installations DASD=none should be coded in the CMS Configuration File (Installation Manual section 18.1 (page 291 in PDF)
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dracut-033-160.el7
How reproducible:
Fails every time
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Code DASD="none" in CMS configuration file
2. Punch Kernel, parameter file, initrd to RDR
3. IPL from RDR device
Actual results:

Expected results:
When coding an existing DASD address in that field, DASD="100", it locates and uses that disk.
