Description of problem: During installation of the RHVH ISO image (in a VM, but big enough, with nested virt enabled, etc.) I get the error as in the screenshot. Error message mentions a failed pvscan on /dev/vda1 Seems related to lvmetad not running. I can get further in the installation when I start lvmetad manually before clicking 'Begin installation'. Note: installation fails further in the process, so I still cannot successfully deploy RHVH Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.0 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download RHV-4.0-20160818.1 from portal 2. Make VM with nested virt and large enough disk 3. Try and install Actual results: Installer fails right when physical volumes are created Expected results: RHV installs successfully Additional info: The VM is not the problem. RHEVH installs fine in it, and so did the beta.

Samantha, have you seen this bug before?
Just to check -- comment#1 says RHV-4.0-20160818.1, but the bug says RHVH-4.0-20160817.1 Can you verify which one this is, please? I'd also like more information on your nested virt setup here (as much as you can provide). I just tested and cannot reproduce this in a nested environment running on oVirt, but knowing as much as possible about your environment would be helpful.
Hey there, I'm having the same issue whether I try to install RHVH in GUI or text mode. The ISO image is RHVH-4.0-20160817.1-RHVH-x86_64-dvd1.iso I'll be adding some images and logs from /tmp installation After I start lvm2-lvmetad.socket in a separate shell I was able to finish with the installation. Regarding the nested setup, I'm working with 3 VMs, 1 being the RHVM, 1 RHV Linux Host and 1 RHVH which is the one failing. The linux host worked just fine Let me know if you need me to share more information. Regards Javier

These are VMs under libvirt running on Fedora 24. - 30GiB virtio qcow2 disk (also tried with a larger disk) - Host CPU configuration copied to VM (for nested virt). - 8192MiB of memory (also tried with more, up to 14GiB) - 2 vCPUs (also tried with 4) I had RHEV3 running in similar VMs before. Note: Starting lvmetad doesn't help for me. I end up with a different error regarding tagging thinpool devices. I'll file a separate bug for that if the lvmetad turns out to be the answer and I still see that issue.

Accidentally cleared the needinfo for sbueno@
Moving needinfo to Vratislav, as it's blivet.

Blivet currently relies on lvmetad running. Does it have to be disabled for RHVH installations?
A new iso which is fixing this problem should now be available on the customer portal: https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/150/ver=4.0/rhel---7/4.0/x86_64/product-software
