I can't reproduce this issue on FC machine. Test version: RHVH-4.4-20210715.1-RHVH-x86_64-dvd1.iso RHVH-4.4-20210812.0-RHVH-x86_64-dvd1.iso Test steps: 1. Install RHVH 4.4.7 on a FC disk, select the multipath device. 2. Finish the installation and reboot. 3. Register to engine. 4. Attach FC storage Test result: All above steps can succeed. I am trying these two iso, but that doesn't work when finishing from installation and reboot machine, the machine going to Dracut mode and doesn't see any storage or anythings from the file system such as (/, /boot, /var), etc. that is a bug in this version that doesn't see the FC when installed the rhv. We're trying to reproduce this issue on an additional environment and will provide an update as soon as we have more information.

Have you tried to install plain RHEL, and if so, do you have the same issue with RHEL installations as well? Yes, I install RHEL and the installation is successful. and it is not FCoE by any chance, is it? Actually, I am using FCoE with RHEL and the installation is successful, but when installing RHV 4.4.7 using FCOE the installation is successful but when I reboot after the installation the machine can't boot. I wonder if just installing the vdsm-hook-fcoe would make a difference. What is it that's needed for the host to see the storage? fcoe kernel module or anything else? Perhaps just fcoe-utils rpm? (that's what got removed from RHVH in default install due to making vdsm-hook-fcoe optional recently) Seems the FCOE issue is related with bug 1575930, detail info see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1575930#c44 Well RHEL 8 does not support FCoE that is software based. Only hardware assisted FCoE is supported, see https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/managing_storage_devices/configuring-fibre-channel-over-ethernet_managing-storage-devices So as long as we are using one of these drivers, we should be fine: * qedf * bnx2fc * fnic As multipath does see the devices, I don't think it has anything to do with the fcoe-utils package then. Also from the c#0 it looks like proper Fibrechannel is used: > - HBA using driver qla2xxx: Fibre Channel [0c04]: QLogic Corp. ISP2722-based 16/32Gb Fibre Channel to PCIe Adapter [1077:2261] (rev 01) This is a plain FC HBA and not a hybrid network/FCoE device. So can you please clarify which device is used for boot? Also the output of the following commands would be helpful: - lspci - multipath -vvv - lsmod Cheers, Martin As an update regarding the additional environment: we weren't able to reproduce the issue there either. Could we get the output from the above commands? For reference, this is the RHV KCS about not supporting software FCoE starting RHV 4.4: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/5269201 |
