rhev-h complains about missing /etc/multipath/wwids on boot
Last modified: 2016-04-26 12:44:28 EDT
Description of problem: Cosmetics: without multipath in use / configured rhev-h complains on boot that it can't open /etc/multipath/wwids (no such file). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 20120209
The problem is this file doesn't exist in the base image. It's generated and persisted during the installation. This means it's not available when the image is booting. One possible solution is to have an empty file there in the base image.

Verified on 6.3-20120330 build: 1. first, reproduce the bug on 6.3-20120215.0 build, during boot can see the error "cannot open file [/etc/multipath/wwids] readonly: no such file or directory". 2. verified on 6.3-20120330 build, boot cannot see the error anymore.
