Dimitri,
Customers will get blocked during installation, which is really severe. HWE kernel might be too late for that, and besides that, 16.04.1 stream will need ita anyway somewhen within the supprted time frame.

Since this is a bug in common code and not in code parts that had been contributed by IBM, I do not see our kernel team reponsible for that.
It's up to Canonical to put this on risk and force customers to use the
HWE kernel (in which it is hopefully fixed), or to contact the
scsi_dh_alua maintainer and backport the required fixes.

Title:
FCP devices are not detected correctly nor deterministically
Status in Release Notes for Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:
Confirmed
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
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:
with multipathing (2 paths)
