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 yuping zhang 2012-04-01 08:41:21 UTC 
Description of problem:
Add FC storage with two links,it will display as two disks.
Then multipath will auto-config it as mpath.But virt-p2v can not find 
the mpath,only with /dev/sdb,/dev/sdc.So we cannot convert it with virt-p2v.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-p2v-0.8.6.2

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:


Expected results:


Additional info:
As all FC storage is used two links in our environment,so it blocked us 
to test FC storage.
Comment 3 Matthew Booth 2012-04-02 09:17:51 UTC 
Can you please try converting just 1 of these disks? I suspect that will work. If so, this would require documentation.
Comment 4 yuping zhang 2012-04-05 08:08:12 UTC 
Hi matt,
I have tried as you comment.
There are two disks /dev/sdb and /dev/sdd in p2v "Fixed Storage".
1. Convert /dev/sdd,there is a error "Error reading data in send_data:Input/ouput error"
#dmesg
...
end_request: I/O error, dev sdd, sector 0

2.Convert /dev/sdb successfully,the guest can boot.
But the device.map didn't update.
# cat /boot/grub/device.map 
# this device map was generated by anaconda
(hd0)     /dev/mapper/mpatha
===> For this problem,I will create another bug if this bug is documented.

3.On host,check the multipath device.
# multipath -ll

The sdb is active ready running and sdd is active ghost running.
So maybe this is cause of converting sdb fail.

Typo.Here it should be sdd fail.
