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.

WrongDeviceName

Description of problem:

  Installation failed on IBM System x3755 for the RHEVH gets the wrong device name.
  The older RHEV-H 6.3-20120419.0.el6 gets the device name:SServeRA_QEServer_F8BC3124[atachment Localstorage.png], and is installed successfully.
  The RHEV-H 6.3-20120426 and RHEV-H-20120502 gets the incomplete device name：SServeRA[atachment Localstorage2.png], and gets failure installation.
  The incomplete device name results in the error after sfdisk in code.   size_cmd = "sfdisk -s " + drive + " 2>null"


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
  rhev-hypervisor6-6.3-20120426.2.el6
  rhev-hypervisor6-6.3-20120502.3.el6

How reproducible:
  100%

  Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Clean install RHEV-H 6.3-20120426.0.el6 on IBM System x3755.
  2. Boot from PXE choose the RHEV-H 6.3-20120426.2.el6.

Actual results:
  1. RHEVH couldn't be installed successfully, and an exception occured. See pic:[ibminstall0426Exception.png]
  2. But the RHEV-H 6.3-20120419.0.el6 could be installed successfully

  Expected results:
  The RHEV-H 6.3-20120426.2.el6 and rhev-hypervisor6-6.3-20120502.3.el6 could be installed successfully.

Can you drop to a shell and look at what is under /dev/mapper?

Do device names contain spaces?  

This looks like it's caused by the fix for bug 736493.  I'll revert that fix.
Comment 4 Fabian Deutsch 2012-05-08 15:36:35 UTC 
I was able to reproduce this in a VM giving a harddisk the same serial (SServeRA_QEServer_F8BC3124).

Verified with rhevh-6.3-20120509.1. The device mapper name doesn't contain space anymore and the install to it successes.
