Description Gris Ge 2011-08-04 07:47:52 UTC 
Description of problem:

Anaconda don't support these following options for multipath devices:
===
ignoredisk --only-use=/dev/disk/by-id/dm-uuid-mpath-20090ef1270000000
===
ignoredisk --only-use=/dev/mapper/mpatha
===
ignoredisk --only-use=mapper/mpatha
===


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 6.1 GA.

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add above options in kickstart file,
1. For beaker system, add these into job.xml
=============
            <ks_appends>
                <ks_append><![CDATA[
%end
ignoredisk --only-use=mpatha
]]></ks_append>
            </ks_appends>
=============
3. Check wether OS installed correctly.
  
Actual results:
anaconda cannot find the multipath.

Expected results:
Anaconda should support multipath in "ignoredisk --only-use" options.

Additional info:
Comment 1 Gris Ge 2011-08-04 08:03:45 UTC 
I also tried "ignoredisk --only-use=mpatha", same issue.

"ignoredisk --only-use=sda" works well on other server via beaker job.xml.
Comment 2 Ales Kozumplik 2011-08-04 14:08:38 UTC 
Closing this as dup. The need to target multipath devices in various ways emerged and has been dealt with in bug 677263 and bug 696876.
