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 Patrice Guay 2010-07-13 16:05:16 UTC
The device-mapper-multipath package is a requirement for the /usr/bin/liveinst program shipped by anaconda

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda 13.21.50-9.el6

How reproducible: always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot on a RHEL6 LiveCD
2. /usr/bin/liveinst
  
Actual results:
anaconda 13.21.50 exception report
Traceback (most recent call first):
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iutil.py", line 236, in execWithCapture
    raise RuntimeError, "Error running " + command + ": " + e.strerror
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/storage/devicelibs/mpath.py", line 80, in identifyMult
ipaths
    topology = parseMultipathOutput(iutil.execWithCapture("multipath", ["-d",]))
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/filter_gui.py", line 570, in getScreen
    (singlepaths, mpaths, partitions) = identifyMultipaths(disks)
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 1415, in setScreen
    new_screen = self.currentWindow.getScreen(anaconda)
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 1336, in nextClicked
    self.setScreen ()
RuntimeError: Error running multipath: No such file or directory


Solution:
By installing the device-mapper-multipath package, this error is avoided.

Comment 2 Chris Lumens 2010-07-13 16:57:05 UTC
anaconda cannot simply require device-mapper-multipath, because not all composes of RHEL6 contain that package.  Placing a hard requirement on it would therefore break tree composition and likely anaconda builds.
