Install RHVH-4.4-20190926.3-RHVH-x86_64-dvd1.iso on a machine with dirty disks(for example, installed with rhvh4.3) 2. Go to INSTALLATION DESTINATION page, select the dirty disks, and select Automatic in the Storage Configuration section, then click Done to reclaim space. 3. Finish other required configurations, then begin installation Actual results: 1. Reclaim space succeeded. 2. Installation failed with the above error. Expected results: 1. Installation on dirty disks should succeed when using automatic partitioning scheme Additional info: Custom partitioning scheme works fine. Automatic partitioning could work when disks are clean.
Samantha can you please have a look at this?
Looks like an issue with blivet - it can't clean the disk, perhaps David can help
Cloning this bug to blivet.
Qin, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1766498#c27 - can you test with this please ?
Tested, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1766498#c28 One question, shouldn't RHVH 4.4.0 consume RHEL-8.1.0 installer? The latest RHVH 4.4 consumes anaconda 29.19.2.4-1.el8 which is tagged with rhel-8.2.0-candidate on brew.
Tested latest rhvh4.4 RHVH-4.4-20200205.1-RHVH-x86_64-dvd1.iso, automatic partitioning still fails when the disks are dirty, the error is: anaconda 29.19.2.6 exception report Traceback (most recent call first): File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/pyanaconda/errors.py", line 381, in cb elif getattr(exn, "dbus_name") and exn.dbus_name in _dbus_map: File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/pyanaconda/installation_tasks.py", line 451, in run_task if errors.errorHandler.cb(e) == errors.ERROR_RAISE: File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/pyanaconda/installation_tasks.py", line 487, in start self.run_task() File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/pyanaconda/installation_tasks.py", line 311, in start item.start() File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/pyanaconda/installation_tasks.py", line 311, in start item.start() File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/pyanaconda/installation.py", line 408, 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) AttributeError: 'DeviceFormatError' object has no attribute 'dbus_name'

This was fixed in anaconda [1] so next respin of RHVH should consume this. [1] https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/2297
The issue is not reproducible on RHVH-UNSIGNED-ISO-4.4-RHEL-8-20200226.1-RHVH-x86_64-dvd1.iso
Move to VERIFIED according to comment 10.
