Comment 14 Jason Paroly 2021-08-12 15:39:19 UTC

Ran again with:

sudo guestfish -a /tmp/images/rhel-guest-image-8.2-290.x86_64.qcow2 -m /dev/sda3 sh "mount /dev/sda2 /boot/efi && /sbin/grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg && cp /boot/grub2/grub.cfg /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.cfg && grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args=\"rd.iscsi.firmware=1\" && echo Success"

which succeeded but boot failed again.  titan94.lab.eng.tlv2.redhat.com is in the reproduced state again now.

Now that we have a working CI job its time to update the documentation:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_openstack_platform/16.2-beta/html/bare_metal_provisioning/booting-from-cinder-volumes

It looks like step 3-xii needs to be removed, then the guestfish command at step 5-iii needs to be replace with the guestfish command in comment #30

Comment 32 Steve Baker 2021-08-24 19:52:27 UTC

Just a note that this fix will be needed on 16.1 documentation also

Comment 38 Alex McLeod 2022-02-11 12:53:52 UTC

Merged to main and 16.2
