Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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:
Anaconda fails with a traceback when a subset of multipath members is specified by the ignoredisk kickstart command:
ignoredisk --drives sda
# where sda and sdb are members of mpatha

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python3-blivet-3.2.2-6.el8
anaconda-33.16.3.21-1.el8
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Prepare a kickstart file with the following partitioning:
ignoredisk --drives sda
clearpart --all --initlabel
autopart
2. Start a kickstart installation on a machine with a multipath disk (where sda is one of the mpath members)
Actual results:
Anaconda traceback.
Expected results:
Anaconda shows an error message, not a traceback.
Additional info:
Originally reported in bug 1866243#c8
This is fixed in python-blivet-3.2.2-7.el8, anaconda shows the following error message instead of a traceback:
Starting automated install..================================================================================
================================================================================
Error
There is a problem with your existing storage configuration. You must resolve
this matter before the installation can proceed. There is a shell available for
use which you can access by pressing ctrl-alt-f1 and then ctrl-b 2.
Once you have resolved the issue you can retry the storage scan. If you do not
fix it you will have to exit the installer.
Including only a subset of raid/multipath member disks is not allowed.
All parent devices must be selected when choosing exclusive or ignored disks for
a multipath or firmware RAID device.

resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a
resolution of ERRATA.
