Description Fabian Deutsch 2015-07-08 10:46:11 UTC 
Description of problem:
This is a tracker to track several RHEV-H installation and reinstallation issues caused by using incorrect storage_init lines.
Comment 1 Fabian Deutsch 2015-07-08 14:03:21 UTC 
From bug 1233186 comment 8:

A customer has two options to do a reinstallation of RHEV-H on multipath devices:

1. Use storage_init=<bus>:<serial> as documented here:
   https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.5/html/Installation_Guide/sect-Automated_Installation.html#Storage_Parameters

2. Remove the kernel argument rd_NO_MULTIPATH when triggering the reinstallation.
   This kernel argument is normally needed to make the boot process of the installer reliable, but it can be removed when the installer is booted via PXE.

Andrew, can we create a knowledge base article or "solution" (not sure what the right type of document is), to document this for customers and GSS?
Comment 2 Fabian Deutsch 2015-07-14 04:47:03 UTC 
Instead of a knowledge base, Yaniv Dary suggests to add a note to the documentation instead. The installation or re-installation part would be a good place.
