Doc Type: Known Issue
Doc Text:
Storage devices with disk labels appear as locked on the storage devices sub-tab. When a user deletes a brick by removing lv, vg, pv and partition, the storage device appears with the lock symbol and the user is unable to create a new brick from the storage device. Workaround: Using the CLI, manually create a partition. Clicking Sync on the 'Storage Device' sub-tab under the host shows the created partition in the UI. The partition appears as a free device that can be used to create a brick through the RHGSC UI.

Description RamaKasturi 2015-06-15 09:57:46 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1211964 +++

Description of problem:
Even when there are no paritions in the disk , the disk is still shown with locked symbol and user cannot use the disk for creating a brick.

When a storage device is used for creating a brick , and once the brick is created and mounted if user tries to umount the brick, removes the lv, vg and pv the brick is still shown with locked symbol in the UI. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ovirt-engine-3.6.0-0.0.master.20150412172306.git55ba764.el6.noarch

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a rhel7 node to the UI.
2. click on sync button in the storage devices.
3. Now create a brick using the storage device.
4. Umount the brick, remove /etc/fstab entry, remove the lv, remove the vg, remove the pv, remove the partition inside the disk.
5. click on sync button.

Actual results:
The storage device on which the partition was removed is still shown with a locked symbol.

Expected results:
If there is no partition inside the disk, disk should not be shown with locked symbol.

Additional info:

I removed the partition using fdisk.
for ex:- step 1) fdisk /dev/sdd
         step 2) key press 'd'
         step 3) key press 'w'
Now in the UI when i click 'sync' option
I could able to see the device listed without any lock icon.
It works for me.

Can you check it out. If its works, can you/i close this bug?

I followed the same steps which is present in comment 1. Still i see the same issue. partition shows unlocked only when i run dd command on that disk. Until then it shows the device wit locked symbol.

Clicking 'Sync' will not create a partition. Customer should create a partition manually using CLI and clicking 'Sync' will show the created partition on the UI. Then the created partition can be used to create brick.

Comment 9 Sahina Bose 2016-04-27 06:31:39 UTC
This problem is seen when there is a disk label even after removal of the disks partitions. dd command can be used to clean the first few bytes of the disks and it will remove the disk label. Closing this bug with the suggested workaround.
