well all other LPARs running AIX got their paths back ;-) So the
backend and the VIOSes were providing multiple paths again. After
the Debian LPAR was rebooted, all paths were back to normal.

Sorry, didn't check that at the time.

I'll try to setup a test environment.

At the top of my head, no. Might be a relict from earlier times, or
might be derived from the IBM SVC recommendations for Linux host
attachments ('no_path_retry "5"'). Although in this case the Debian
LPAR gets its SVC backed disks from the two VIOS rather than directly
from the SVC.
Thanks & best regards,
