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 Gianfranco Sigrisi 2023-05-17 17:21:11 UTC

Description of problem:

On a host with the following rootvg:

```
[root@rhel9 rex]# vgs
  VG     #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize  VFree
  rootvg   1   7   0 wz--n- 21.00g    0
``

When running this playbook:
```
---
- name: configure swap
  hosts: "{{ targeted_host }}"

  vars:
    storage_pools:
    - name: swapvg
      disks:
        - /dev/sdb
      volumes:
        - name: swap
          size: 80%
          fs_type: swap
          state: present

  roles:
    - name: redhat.rhel_system_roles.storage

```

The pre-existing rootvg disappears from the lvm devices list. 

The data is kept. 

```
[root@rhel9 rex]# vgs
  VG     #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize  VFree
  swapvg   1   1   0 wz--n- <2.00g 408.00m
[root@rhel9 rex]#
```


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

redhat.rhel_system_roles.storage 1.21.1

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:

The rootvg disappears

Expected results:

The swapvg is added together with rootvg

Additional info:

The file /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices is missing. 

Workaround: 

Adding a pre_task to create the system.devices file with: vgimportdevices --all - fixes the issue.

Output after re-running the playbook:

```
# vgs
  VG     #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize  VFree
  rootvg   1   7   0 wz--n- 21.00g      0
  swapvg   1   1   0 wz--n- <2.00g 408.00m
```
