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 Mohua Li 2011-04-11 08:39:33 UTC

Description of problem:
autoinstall with usb/cdrom fail, and drop to shell with error,

storage_init=/dev/mapper/3600508b*4f2600 storage_vol=500:500:500:500:500:500 firstboot local_boot

Starting ovirt-firstboot: Volume group "HostVG" not found
Skipping volume group HostVG

Local storage must be configured prior to installing


but with pxe as install media,the auto install could succeed,


after drop to shell, check with lvs/vgs/pvs, nothing found, and also in /dev/mapper/, just /dev/mapper/3600*4f2600 found, 

The problem is that ovirt-node doesn't even try to create a hostvg, then it report "HostVG not found" error, 







Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.0-15.9

Comment 2 Mike Burns 2011-04-11 13:01:32 UTC

Auto-install will only trigger if storage_init and BOOTIF are both specified. 
Without that, it won't partition.  

local_boot triggers the upgrade process which will fail because no partitioning
has been done.
