RHEV-M and gpt on RHEL Hypervisor

Latest response

Hi,

 

we have the following problem:

 

We have some HS22 blades that should be used as hosts in an RHEV 3 cluster.

Those blades were installed with RHEL 6.2 on local disks. They have UEFI and are using a gpt.

Installation went fine and the blades were configured as described in the RHEV 3 installation guide.

They were even rebooted several time because of a kernel update and some test with the FC storage they are attached to.

 

Then we added them to the RHEV-M this installation also went without error and the bladed were rebooted and showed up as active in the RHEV-M.

 

After we rebooted one of those blades because of some hardware problem it would not boot because the filesystem check on bootup could not find the UUID for /boot as it was in /etc/fstab. After commenting this line in fstab the blade booted again but /boot is not accessible.

 

Parted shows three partitions on the local disk sda3 with lvm (standard rhel installation with swap, home, and root on lvm), one partiton with ext4 and on as fat16 (?)

 

Model: LSILOGIC Logical Volume (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 146GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt

Number  Start   End    Size   File system  Name  Flags
 1      1049kB  211MB  210MB  fat16              boot
 2      211MB   735MB  524MB  ext4
 3      735MB   146GB  145GB                     lvm
 

/proc/partitions only shows sda and sda3

According to fstab boot should be on UUID f492a943-cbca-49a7-bd10-fe9167bb2e64 but blkid does not show it:

After checking the other blades (which did not have hardware issues) we noticed the same problem on them.
 

How can I get boot back?

 

Regards,
