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 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:

I also tried "ignoredisk --only-use=mpatha", same issue.

"ignoredisk --only-use=sda" works well on other server via beaker job.xml.

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.
