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.

Mike

Thank you answering the question.

My pex command line is as follow:

In the emergency shell

[root@mcptest ~]# cat /proc/cmdline

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.

It's possible we're not translating correctly from /dev/sda to /dev/mapper/3600*.

Can you try one thing? try adding reinstall instead of install to the PXE command line. Also, you probably shouldn't pass both upgrade and install on the same command line. It's may be getting confused because it has both of those.

Joey, can you see if you can reproduce this?

Thanks

Mike
