Description of problem: The dracut plugin currently doesn't work with storage_init=<bus_type>. This is due to a function that is not available in initramfs Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.1-11 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install 6.1 rhevh to scsi disk 2.boot with storage_init=scsi firstboot rdbreak 3.when boot process drops to dracut shell, check for HostVG on scsi disk Actual results: fails to clean due to a function missing Expected results: cleans scsi disk Additional info:

Setting to post as the above patch is needed to solve some devices. Will await confirmation on whether it's the same issue for cciss

There's now hpsa driver which shows at least some cciss controllers as normal scsi devices - cciss in ML150 G6 is 103c:323a (rev 01) This might be confusing for users, to know when it's cciss bus and when scsi, We'll need to talk to kernel storage to see what's the plan with separate cciss driver, both hpsa and cciss are present in 6.1: # modinfo hpsa filename: /lib/modules/2.6.32-131.0.1.el6.x86_64/kernel/drivers/scsi/hpsa.ko license: GPL version: 2.0.2-3 description: Driver for HP Smart Array Controller version 2.0.2-3 author: Hewlett-Packard Company srcversion: 7EC69F284931C227989DD2E alias: pci:v00000E11d*sv*sd*bc01sc04i* alias: pci:v0000103Cd*sv*sd*bc01sc04i* alias: pci:v0000103Cd0000323Bsv0000103Csd00003356bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v0000103Cd0000323Bsv0000103Csd00003355bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v0000103Cd0000323Bsv0000103Csd00003354bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v0000103Cd0000323Bsv0000103Csd00003353bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v0000103Cd0000323Bsv0000103Csd00003352bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v0000103Cd0000323Bsv0000103Csd00003351bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v0000103Cd0000323Bsv0000103Csd00003350bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v0000103Cd0000323Asv0000103Csd00003233bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v0000103Cd0000323Asv0000103Csd0000324Bbc*sc*i* alias: pci:v0000103Cd0000323Asv0000103Csd0000324Abc*sc*i* alias: pci:v0000103Cd0000323Asv0000103Csd00003249bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v0000103Cd0000323Asv0000103Csd00003247bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v0000103Cd0000323Asv0000103Csd00003245bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v0000103Cd0000323Asv0000103Csd00003243bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v0000103Cd0000323Asv0000103Csd00003241bc*sc*i* depends: vermagic: 2.6.32-131.0.1.el6.x86_64 SMP mod_unload modversions parm: hpsa_allow_any:Allow hpsa driver to access unknown HP Smart Array hardware (int) parm: hpsa_simple_mode:Use 'simple mode' rather than 'performant mode' (int) # modinfo cciss filename: /lib/modules/2.6.32-131.0.1.el6.x86_64/kernel/drivers/block/cciss.ko license: GPL version: 3.6.28 description: Driver for HP Smart Array Controllers author: Hewlett-Packard Company srcversion: 2FD0F32234F7AB5CD96D40B alias: pci:v0000103Cd00003230sv0000103Csd0000323Dbc*sc*i* alias: pci:v0000103Cd00003230sv0000103Csd00003237bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v0000103Cd00003238sv0000103Csd00003215bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v0000103Cd00003238sv0000103Csd00003214bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v0000103Cd00003238sv0000103Csd00003213bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v0000103Cd00003238sv0000103Csd00003212bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v0000103Cd00003238sv0000103Csd00003211bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v0000103Cd00003230sv0000103Csd00003235bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v0000103Cd00003230sv0000103Csd00003234bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v0000103Cd00003230sv0000103Csd00003223bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v0000103Cd00003220sv0000103Csd00003225bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00000E11d00000046sv00000E11sd0000409Dbc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00000E11d00000046sv00000E11sd0000409Cbc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00000E11d00000046sv00000E11sd0000409Bbc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00000E11d00000046sv00000E11sd0000409Abc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00000E11d00000046sv00000E11sd00004091bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00000E11d0000B178sv00000E11sd00004083bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00000E11d0000B178sv00000E11sd00004082bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00000E11d0000B178sv00000E11sd00004080bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00000E11d0000B060sv00000E11sd00004070bc*sc*i* depends: vermagic: 2.6.32-131.0.1.el6.x86_64 SMP mod_unload modversions parm: cciss_tape_cmds:number of commands to allocate for tape devices (default: 6) (int)
testing on HP BL465c G5, which has RAID controller, support RAID 0,1, and using the cciss driver instead hpsa, and the bus type could be recognised as cciss, rhev-hypervisor 6.1-20110427, auto install from pxe, storage_init=cciss storage_vol=::::: local_boot firstboot ip=dhcp BOOTIF=$macaddress auto install fail, and get error at mke2fs -t ext2 /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 -L Root /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here. try mke2fs -n /dev/cciss/c0d0p1, /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here. cat /proc/mounts, could find /root/.ssh, seems here is also a race condition problem, but try several times, always fail with this error, attach the screenshot for your reference,
This bug is for specifically for the dracut plugin that does uninstall and disk cleanup. Installation problems with storage_init=<bus> should be filed separately. This is also captured in bug 681164, so we can track it there instead. For this BZ, testing should be done by: 1. installing (autoinstall, GUI install, doesn't matter how) 2. specify storage_init=<bus of the install disk (ata, scsi, usb, cciss)> 3. specify either firstboot or uninstall on the command line If firstboot and BOOTIF is not specified, then you should get the GUI. Go to the console and check if there are PV/VGs If uninstall, boot again to the gui and check that there are no PV/VGs on the disk Another option for checking: you can specify rdbreak which will drop you to a dracut shell. From there, you should see the output of the pvremove and vgremove commands. You can check directly there by running lvm pvs lvm vgs

tested with storage_init=(usb,scsi,ata,cciss) all could be parse successfully, and installed successfully expect cciss, which has the error refer in comment 21, will open a new bug for it,
