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 doesn't show multipath volumes

Version-Release number of selected component:
RHEL6 Beta1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start installer with "mpath" boot option
2. Choose "Specialized Storage Devices"
3. Click "Multipath Devices" tab in device selection

Actual results:
No devices appear in the window

Example of the actual results :
See the attached images.
While the multipath LUNs are listed up for each path (the 1st image),
they doesn't appear in the "Multipath Devices" tab (the 2nd image).
It seems the installer couldn't find their WWID (the 3rd image).
I tried choosing "Specialized Storage Devices" and/or
adding "mpath" boot option but neither did work.

Expected results:
Multipath devices appear in "Multipath Devices" window.

Additional info:
On the same test machine, the multipath devices are correctly recognized
by both installers of RHEL5 and RHEL6 Alpha3.

Attached sosreport was taken on RHEL6 Beta1 installation with
/etc/multipath.conf manually added/configured afterwards.

multipath -v3 output from tty2 during install

Multipath has had a rough time of it lately.  Before we go too far down the path of debugging this, can you please try a tree with anaconda-13.21.40-1?  pjones just committed a set of multipath fixes yesterday for that build, and those have been tested with at least one multipath setup and shown to fix problems.

How to add the boot option "multipath", could you give me a detail step?
Thank you!

Jeff - could you attach the udevadm output I was looking for in comment #18?  That'll help us determine whether this is an anaconda bug or a udev bug.  Thanks.

I'm closing this bug as VERIFIED based on comment 26.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve
the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed
with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the
solution does not work for you.
