QA:Testcase Multipath installation

Description

A complete installation using a multipath device for the root (/) file system . For more details on multipath please consult http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multipath_I/O .

How to test

1. Boot the installer using any available means (boot.iso, CD, DVD, PXE or live image)
2. Verify that there is a multipath disk in your system

multipath -ll
ls -l /dev/mapper/

For example, on a system that does not have a multipath disk:

[anaconda root@sharpie /]# lsmod | grep multipath
dm_multipath           27759  1 dm_round_robin
[anaconda root@sharpie /]# multipath -ll
[anaconda root@sharpie /]# ls -l /dev/mapper/
total 0
crw-------. 1 root root 10, 236 May  6 14:37 control
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root       7 May  6 14:37 live-rw -> ../dm-0

And on a system that does have a multipath disk:

[anaconda root@riley6 ~]# lsmod | grep multipath
dm_multipath           27759  3 dm_round_robin,dm_service_time
[anaconda root@riley6 ~]# multipath -ll

1. Proceed to the partitioning step
2. Delete all partitions to start with empty disk(s)
3. Create the required boot partitions needed for your architecture. This includes /boot and swap.
4. Create the root filesystem /
5. Complete with installation as desired

Expected Results

1. Anaconda completes successfully
2. Reboot successfully into installed system
3. Confirm that the root filesystem is a multipath device
