Right vorlon.
Actually this report is a bit unclear : 2 types of systems were tried : WitherSpoon system as well as VM with 2 installation methods : netboot and cdrom .

It's reported that it failed with netboot then succeeded later on (so I suspected some driver udeb not downloaded/available at this point).
But then Chethan reported : "The things are not working still w.r.t boslcp3 KVM guest. We tried to define a new guest and used both net/cdrom install method, it did not succeed"
which I tried (VM/cdrom) and this worked for me.

So Indira/Chethan, to avoid network issues or daily netboot instabilities, could you please try the cdrom
installation method, and let us know (in particular on a VM, which I can more easily reproduce here) ?
typically boslcp3g1 xml and cdrom installation.

Compared to what I tried, in your qemu guest boslcp3g1 xml, the disk devices specified point to /dev/disk/by-id/dm-uuid-part[1-3]-mpath-3600507680183050d28000000000002a4 and whether the bus is virtio or scsi, both should be supported : in this case the disks are seen through the VM's controller not the host which is supported by the bionic iso from my tests : I tried both configurations and they worked : disks are seen.
Now it's just that with scsi, a multipath device is detected directly, which was not the case with virtio, but disks are still seen (maybe I miss some more configuration).

Here are my virtio and scsi xml as well
