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 of problem:
Installation of RHEL-8.1 on IBM Power S822L - [8247-22L] host that has the following two disks fails with 'inconsistent logical block sizes (4096 and 512).
Disks  Model	Size	                    Logical sector  Physical sector
IPR-0  5DBA7D00	283.79 GB / 264.30 GiB	    4096 bytes	    4096 bytes
IPR-0  5DBA7D00	1135.18 GB / 1057.22 GiB    512 bytes	    4096 bytes


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-8.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL-8.1 on above described hosts (rdma-dev-18)
2.
3.

Actual results:
Installation fails when it tries to create logical volumes with 
    item.start()
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/pyanaconda/installation_tasks.py", line 304, in start
    item.start()
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/pyanaconda/installation.py", line 388, in doInstall
    installation_queue.start()
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/threading.py", line 864, in run
    self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/pyanaconda/threading.py", line 286, in run
    threading.Thread.run(self)
gi.overrides.BlockDev.LVMError: Process reported exit code 5:   Devices have inconsistent logical block sizes (4096 and 512).

In log, I see:
in wrappedsr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/gi/overrides/BlockDev.py", line 967,  

    ret = orig_obj(*args, **kwargs)

in lvm_vgcreateb64/python3.6/site-packages/gi/overrides/BlockDev.py", line 496,  
    return _lvm_vgcreate(name, pv_list, pe_size, extra)

s have inconsistent logical block sizes (4096 and 512).ted exit code 5:   Devicee (0)


During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Expected results:
To install successfully

Additional info:
ignoredisk=--only-use=sda in kickstart installs using /dev/sda. And RHEL-8.0 installs without successfully.

This issue is raised from our storage library. Switching components.

Also probably a duplicate of bug 1754572.
