Bug description:
  Release notes:
  Usage of SCSI LUNs on DS8870 Storage server with μCode Bundles 87.51.xx.0 (LMC 7.7.51.xx) via NPIV enabled zfcp adaptors causes detection issues. LP #1567602 In that case do not use NPIV enabled zfcp adaptors.


  
  Scenario:
  Using Installer 432.
  No DASD devices, just two FCP CHPIDs with two LUNs each (configured for NPIV), provided via parmfile.
  I expect the installer to probe and detect the LUNs automatically once I enable the FCP CHPIDs.

  Repeated five times, I got different results each time. Detected LUNs
  vary between 2 and 4. One time 3 LUNs appear on SCSI1 and one on SCSI2
  which looks especially odd to me.

  Subsequent steps to create partitions and file systems in the
  installer fail.

  Following is one of the five cases with more details:
  After enabling CHPID 192b:

  Next, the installer warns that no disk drives were detected.

  I checked this on a system (installer 445) with two NPIV enabled FCP
  devices that have 4 LUNS each. I only get the first of four LUNs per
  adaptor:

  It looks like the LUN scan is being terminated.
  Kernel parms with: scsi_mod.scsi_logging_level=4605 zfcp.dbflevel=6 zfcp.dbfsize=100

  Re-testing with installer version 445 + udeb packages from 2016-04-07
  s390-dasd 0.0.36ubuntu1, s390-zfcp 1.0.2ubuntu1, multipath-udeb
  0.5.0+git1.656f8865-5ubuntu2, disk-detect 1.117ubuntu1

  Some observations:
  1. With one path only, the scanning/detection of all LUNs worked deterministically and correctly (including the final re-IPL after successful installation).
  2. With two paths, but without the parmfile option 'disk-detect/multipath/enable=true', the LUNs were all detected, but once for every path. I did not want to continue installation that way.
  3. With two paths and with the option 'disk-detect/multipath/enable=true', the multipath program was loaded and multipathing was set up correctly. ...
  4. ... installation completed fine then...
  5. .... but the final re-IPL after successful installation failed. Attaching last console messages of the IPL:
  6. I could also see a difference in filesystem creation time for multipath and single path:
