Hey Jbos,


When I install automatically the ovirt-node-2.6.1 iso to our machine via pxe, I ran into the following error:

Starting ovirt-firstboot: Performing automatic disk partitioning
ERROR:ovirtnode.storage:HostVG/AppVG exists on a separate disk
ERROR:ovirtnode.storage:Manual Intervention required


It seems the auto install will stop if the "HostVG" exists on the disk on the machine.
I checked the code and find the following patch:

http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/node-patches/2012-December/003471.html

The patch add hostvg check to auto installation to fix rhbz#889198 that I have no access to it.

It seems it can't auto install ovirt-node via pxe with the patch and need to delete the existing hostvg manually.

So what do you think about the issue and could you give me some suggestions to fix it? Thanks.

What is your pxe commandline? What device are you installing to? What device contains the previous installation?

The intention of the fix is to prevent users from wiping data accidentally. It's existed in the TUI install for some time, and was previously in the auto-install, but in a migration from bash to python, was missed.

As for the bug, it was a customer filed issue in RHEV-H, and not something I can make public, unfortunately.

Thank you answering the question.

My pex command line is as follow:

We are installing it to the hard disk , and the previous installation is RHEVH 6.3. During the installation, before performing the disk format, it checks that there is a existing HostVG on the disk, so it stops installing.
