Can we broaden the scope and also allow passing createVG partitioned devices with an override flag or something? (we'd need to check the devices and run "kpartx -d" and fdisk to clean the devices before calling pvcreate).

Hi Lists,
One cannot create a PV on a partitioned device, and therefor such devices where not reported to Engine. This proved surprising to users who woder where their LUN disappeared.
Vdsm should report all devices, and ovirt-engine should mark partitioned devices as unworthy of a PV. In the future, Vdsm may allow to forcefully remove a partition table from a device, to make it usable as a PV.
Douglas (CCed) would take resposibilty on the Vdsm side. Initial patch at http://gerrit.ovirt.org/944 sports a backword-compatible API. Who's taking this on Engine? This involves GUI, too, as partitioned devices should probably be displayed greyed-out.
Livnat, is there any taker for this on your side?
Since the change is backward-compatible, I would push it if there are no objections.
Dan.
Hi Danken,
How did you mark a partitioned device? (How will the engine will spot these LUNs)
Each device has a field 'partitioned'. Currently, Engine ignores it (as it is always False). With my little patch, devices with partitioned=True would be reported, too.
