This error is likely raised because the partitioning did not meet the requirements of RHVH. What kind of partitioning did you perform (auto or manual)? If it was manual, please provide smoe details on the partitioning type and the mount-points you created. Bug 1331278 covers the improvement of the error messages during installation - this bug is one of those which will get a better error message to explain what the issue is.

Diego, how did you run into the issue? Did you do it as comment 2 is describing it? So installing RHVH - and then additionally run imgbase layout --init?
Hi Diego, The output of lvs -o +tags also would help us. For now, I have sent an initial patch to show us more details in case of failure.
Test Version: redhat-virtualization-host-4.1-0.20170104.0 imgbased-0.9.2-0.1.el7ev.noarch Test Steps: 1. Install RHVH 4.1 2. Reboot and log in to RHVH 4.1 3. Run command "imgbase layout --init" Test Result: After step3, there is a message printed out on the screen saying： imgbased.imgbase.ExistingImgbaseWithTags: Looks like the system already has imgbase working properly. However, imgbase was called with --init. If this wasintentional, please untag the existing volumes and try again. There is a friendly message to indicate the user what happened when running command "imgbase layout --init" after installation finished. So, change the RFE's status to VERIFIED.
