Hi,
I've set up a node in a cluster which I would l like to use the
attached fibre channel disks as storage. The ovirt version is 3.6 and
both hosts (engine and node) are running Scientific 7.2. When I select
the fibre channel option in the ovirt manager GUI from the drop down
menu in the storage section, it shows the target disks on the node
host (actually symlinks named as 34 character IDs which I assume are
created by multipathd, which point to the actual device in /dev such
as /dev/dm-3). 'multipath -ll' shows the devices up and running:

When I select those IDs, it says 'The following LUNs are in use' (does
it perhaps mean by multipath?), and to 'Approve operation', which I
do, but it then fails with:
"Error while executing action New SAN Storage Domain: Physical device
initialization failed. Please check that the device is empty and
accessible by the host."
The storage is not mounted and is not being used by any other host.
The error from the engine log is:

On the node, in the messages log, I get:

---------------------8<--------------------------
Not sure why it is looking at dm-4 and dm-8, which don't exist (the
symlinks point to dm-0 to dm-3 for the devices).
What am I doing wrong here? Any help much appreciated.
Thanks,
Cam
