Issue Description with Screenshots

Description of problem:
Install RHVH via anaconda, the "Modify" button in the Device(s) section of /boot is enabled in the MANUAL PARTITIONING page.
If the server has multiple disks, click this button and attempt to choose devices, the boot device specified by the "Full disk summary and boot loader..." link at the bottom of the INSTALLATION DESTINATION page must be chosen, otherwise there will be an error.
What's more, if choose multiple devices for /boot, only the boot device will be mounted on /boot, the others will have no effect. 

So, the device "Modify" configuration of /boot makes people confused, and the issue is whether this button should be enabled.

There is a detailed description with screenshots in the attachment named "issue description.odp". 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
redhat-virtualization-host-4.0-20161027.1

2. Select a boot device via the "Full disk summary and boot loader..." link.
3. Manually configure partitions.
4. Click the "Modify button" in Device(s) section of /boot, choose any device except the boot device, then click Done.
5. Click the "Modify button" in Device(s) section of /boot again, choose the boot device plus any other device, then click Done.


Actual results:
1. After step4, there is an error indication line at the bottom of the MANUAL PARTITIONING page.
2. After step5, the devices modification succeed, but the device mounted on /boot is only the boot device, don't include other devices specified in "Modify" configuration.

Comment 3 Sandro Bonazzola 2018-11-28 11:14:29 UTC
This missed 7.3 -> 7.6; can we have a target milestone for this? 7.6.z? 7.7?

Comment 4 Jiri Konecny 2018-11-29 08:59:47 UTC
Anaconda is not doing Z streams but we will look on this during 7.7 planning.

Comment 5 Sandro Bonazzola 2019-06-14 07:16:27 UTC
Missed 7.7, retrying with 8.1 for RHV 4.4

Comment 6 Sandro Bonazzola 2020-03-18 11:11:12 UTC
Missed 8.1 and 8.2, not tracking this anymore for RHV 4.4.

Comment 9 RHEL Program Management 2020-12-01 07:27:34 UTC
