RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description tbsky 2017-06-05 08:44:40 UTC
Description of problem:

with multiple 4TB disks, I want to make software raid and install biosboot to all the disks. anaconda want to do it but forget to make biosboot partition.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhel 7.3 and rhel 7.4 beta1


How reproducible:
everytime


Steps to Reproduce:
1. use rhel 7.3 or 7.4 beta1 to install and select manual partition
2. create biosboot partition to multiple disks (this is default when you create bios biosboot partition)
3. anacoda said it will create biosboot to all disks, but when you click "done", you will see anaconda only make biosboot partition for only one disk.

Actual results:
anaconda make biosboot partition for only one disk


Expected results:
anaconda should make biosboot partition for every disk 


Additional info:

long time ago I found a workaround for this problem. but I forgot how and now I can not install rhel 7.3/7.4 beta1 at multiple 4TB disks under normal bios.

After evaluating this issue, there are no plans to address it further or fix it in an upcoming release.  Therefore, it is being closed.  If plans change such that this issue will be fixed in an upcoming release, then the bug can be reopened.

Hi:
   I just tried rhel 8.3 and 8.4 beta. the situation is the same.

Comment 7 Jiri Konecny 2021-05-03 16:07:40 UTC
Hello, 

There are no more composes created after 7.9 so even if we would fix your issue you would not be able to get the new installation media with the fix. If you want to fix this issue please clone the bug on RHEL-8 or RHEL-9.
