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 Justin Clift 2010-06-01 08:02:11 UTC 
Created attachment 418512 [details]
virt-manager --debug log, clearly showing the virt-manager problem.

Description of problem:

In RHEL 6 (and present git head), virt-manager doesn't create logical lvm volumes on the first attempt.

Instead it generates an error message (twice), and on the third attempt (no change to the details) the logical volume creation works and is usable.


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

virt-manager-0.8.2-3.el6.noarch
(and also tried against virt-manager compiled against git head, 0.8.4+)


How reproducible:

Every time.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use storage pool creation wizard to create a new logical volume, using a disk device (/dev/sdc) that is not presently known to lvm.  (ie not in pvscan, etc).  Ensure the "Build Pool" option is checked.  This will fail with a misleading error claiming the source path hasn't been specified.

  Screenshots 1 - 4.


2. After the above error message, uncheck the "Build Pool" option, then try again.  This time it will fail with an error message saying the lvm group isn't found. (correct)

  Screenshots 5 & 6.


3. After this second error message, check the "Build Pool" option again.  The settings are now the same as in step 1.  Additionally, it's worth noting that in this point pvscan and vgscan show no evidence of the device or volume group being in existence.

   Now when the Finish button is clicked, the storage pool creation works.

   Screenshots 7 - 9.


Storage volumes can now be created, as evidenced by screenshots 10 & 11.


Actual results:

Error message occurs for the first two attempts at logical storage pool creation.  Storage pool creation works on the third attempt.


Expected results:

Storage pool creation to work on the first attempt.

Additional info:

Also attaching the virt-manager debug log for this session, and the libvirtd on the RHEL 6 server for this session.

Can you also provide the output of virt-manager --debug when reproducing? I'll try to reproduce myself.

This is the capture of stdout and stderr, created with:

This is the virt-manager.log from the .virt-manager directory, created from running virt-manager --debug

Comment 19 Justin Clift 2010-06-02 03:44:55 UTC 
Cole, if it's any use it's easy to give you remote access (root and X11 enabled) to the server with this problem.  (ie. ssh -Xl root somehost)
Comment 20 RHEL Program Management 2010-06-07 15:55:57 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.
Comment 21 Cole Robinson 2010-06-14 18:03:29 UTC 
The main issue here is that pool build was broken for LVM and disk pools. There is another side issue in that LVM volume group enumeration is broken, which was making the wizard more confusing then it needed to be. Bug for that issue filed here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=603864

Duping this to your disk pool bug, which is basically the same problem.
