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.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhev-hypervisor-6.2-0.14

How reproducible:
100%.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install RHEL6 on local disk.
- while install RHEL6 were using entire disk and choose minimum mode to install.
2. Install rhevh on local disk via TUI.

Actual results:
Install failed.

Expected results:
install successful. 

Additional info:
It only happened on TUI, autoinstall via PXE with params: storage_init=ata local_boot firstboot have no this issue.
Comment 2 Guohua Ouyang 2011-08-26 06:37:21 UTC 
Tested another scenario:
1. install win2k8 in VM first.
2. install rhevh-6.2-0.14 in VM on the same disk.
result: install is successful and boot into rhevh is ok.
Comment 3 Mike Burns 2011-08-31 13:11:35 UTC 
I've reproduced this with a virtio disk in a vm.  I looked into why it's happening and found a couple things:

in storage.py:

wipe_lvm_on_disk:

pvscan -o ...  there is no -o option for pvscan, should be pvs
with this setup, we end up calling wipe_volume_group with the vg uuid, not the vg name.  AFAICT, this doesn't work for wipe_volume_group.

Something like this is needed:

vg_name = system("vgs -o vg_name,vg_uuid --noheadings 2>/dev/null | grep -w \"" + vg + "\" | awk '{print $1}'")

I also found that running vgchange -an $vg_name will allow the system to install, but has issues after reboot.
Comment 4 Mike Burns 2011-08-31 23:19:52 UTC 
reboot issues are unrelated to this bug.
