If 'use entire disk and set up LVM' is selected during installation of a zVM guest, the system fails to IPL with the error:
LOGON GENRL04
00: z/VM Version 6 Release 4.0, Service Level 1701 (64-bit),

00: There is no logmsg data

DASD devices were configured in this instance.
The error is not seen when non-LVM partitioning is selected (e.g. User entire disk). |
[Impact]
zipl uses zipl_helper.device-mapper helper perl script to determine underlying device geometry/layout to create the bootmap records, when rootfs is on LVM / multipath devices.
That script calls dasdview to get the geometry of the DASD drives using deprecated -f options, which is now redundant given that device argument is now simply positional and required. With that flag, dasdview now exits with failure and the zipl_helper.device-mapper tool uses incorrect built-in fallback defaults, which are most likely wrong.
Without this fix installing onto multipath devices, or root on LVM (default) is not possible.
