The anaconda 'nompath' option has no effect in RHEL 6
Issue
- How can I prevent device-mapper-multipath from mapping any devices during anaconda installation and during subsequent boots?
- Even though I have used the nompath anaconda command-line option, devices are still mapped by multipath during install and post-install
- We are passing the parameter nompath, but the end result is that the server still gets installed with multi-pathing.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 prior to Update 4
anacondaprior to release13.21.195-1.el6- Storage device(s) with multiple paths available
- Installing via anaconda kickstart or graphical installation
