+++ 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: --- Additional comment from Timothy Asir on 2015-05-13 07:06:50 EDT --- 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? --- Additional comment from RamaKasturi on 2015-05-19 02:06:01 EDT --- 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.
Kasturi: Please review the doc text specially the workaround.
Doc text looks good to me.

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.

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.
