[node-devel] About check_existing_hostvg check to auto installation

[Wenyi Gao]

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.

Best regards
Wenyi Gao
