Doc Text:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host 7.1.0 offers iSCSI support during Anaconda installation, but the current content set does not include iSCSI support, so the system will not be able to access the storage. Choosing this option in the installer is not recommended.

Kernel command line:

BOOT_IMAGE=/ostree/rhel-atomic-host-5dfb4e57904b41f15d098be05bcc6b80feedf3961c1f916f18daffcd2e8d5058/vmlinuz-3.10.0-227.el7.x86_64 netroot=iscsi:@10.0.0.1::3260::iqn.2010-04.virt.nap:default netroot=iscsi:@10.0.0.1::3260::iqn.2010-04.virt.nap:second vconsole.keymap=us iscsi_initiator=iqn.1994-05.com.redhat:933d2fb45553 rd.lvm.lv=rah_system1/swap rd.lvm.lv=rah_system1/root crashkernel=auto vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 ifname=eth0:52:54:00:12:34:56 ip=eth0:dhcp root=/dev/mapper/rah_system1-root ostree=/ostree/boot.0/rhel-atomic-host/5dfb4e57904b41f15d098be05bcc6b80feedf3961c1f916f18daffcd2e8d5058/0 console=ttyS0 rd.debug



ifname=eth0:52:54:00:12:34:56 should never be on the kernel command line.

try "ifname=myeth0:52:54:00:12:34:56 ip=myeth0:dhcp"


Nevertheless, the initramfs of the atomic host does not seem to have iSCSI support.

Hi Milan, 

This commit in the 7.1_BETA branch of the Release Notes contains the description from the Doc Text field:

bfdca07 Added 4 Known Issues for Atomic.

Thanks.
Comment 6 Harald Hoyer 2015-06-01 12:54:42 UTC 
Colin Walters, can we reassign this bug to something else than dracut? Clearly, it is not the fault of dracut, that the atomic host has no support for iSCSI.
