cio_ignore blacklist is no longer active after installation

[bugproxy]

Problem Description
=======================
I am installing in a LPAR environment with access to many devices. I want to restrict the access with a cio_ignore device blacklist and provide such a list via the parmfile.

While the blacklist is active during the installation itself, it is not propagated to the installation target: After IPLing the freshly installed system, it has full access to all devices of the LPAR as no cio_ignore blacklist is active.

Dimitri, when fixing things for Bug 139866 - LP 1564475 and Bug 140369 - LP1570775, please consider also this issue here. Install.log will follow.

I currently don't have a test LPAR at hand, so I provide data from a z/VM guest, but the symptoms are the same.
I blacklisted devices explicitely, like so: cio_ignore=100-5ff
However, after IPLing the installed system, these DASDs are visible and no cio_ignore list is active.

I am not sure where the 'installation log' can be found, but suspect you mean the file /var/log/installer/syslog.
If you want another file attached, please let me know.

The usually behaviour is to copy certain parameters to the installed system, things after --- (this way one can differentiate between install time only parameters, and things that should be copied to the installed system too). However cio_ignore is simply to lift and store with cio_ignore tool. Imho this is one more candidate for the zipl.conf generator request.

This is trivial to develop, as soon as we have automated testing of the installer in HMC.

For that we need HMC remote API call to be available for Load from FTP source.

Please, release patch to HMC exposing Load from FTP source API endpoint.
