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.

Comment 3 Radek Vykydal 2018-02-05 11:35:14 UTC 
Seems to be a consequence of
https://github.com/storaged-project/blivet/commit/2ed433f1d906accf4f77660ce0ff036797f43662

For RHEV image install there is probably already /etc/fcoe dir existing on the image. I think we should be able handle this case, I'll look at it.
Comment 4 Radek Vykydal 2018-02-05 11:41:07 UTC 
Could you please provide a link to HVH-4.1-20170817.0-RHVH-x86_64-dvd1.iso or similar so I can debug the issue? Thank you.
Comment 6 Radek Vykydal 2018-02-06 09:18:04 UTC 
PR with fix:

https://github.com/storaged-project/blivet/pull/656

You can check if the fix works for you using this updates image with the patch:
https://rvykydal.fedorapeople.org/updates.fcoe-rhev.img

It can be applied to an installation by adding installer boot option "updates", eg:

updates=https://rvykydal.fedorapeople.org/updates.fcoe-rhev.img

or by using kickstart "updates" command:

updates https://rvykydal.fedorapeople.org/updates.fcoe-rhev.img
Comment 7 Samantha N. Bueno 2018-02-06 10:38:46 UTC 
Switching this over to python-blivet, since that is the component which the fix is for.

Also setting blocker? since this is a significant issue for our layered products (RHVH). The fix should be quite safe.
Comment 9 Jan Stodola 2018-02-06 14:37:45 UTC 
FYI, updates.img from comment 6 fixes the problem for me.
Comment 14 Jan Stodola 2018-02-23 08:33:47 UTC 
Thank you for confirming this is fixed for you.

Moving to VERIFIED based on comment 13.
