Nobody else with the same HW showed up, so I'm afraid you have to debug that on your own :-/ If you have support on your storage server those might be able to help - try to loop them in?
Adding a kernel task if that is in any way known by the kernel Team. @KC Did you have a chance to test the extra things I asked in comment #5? ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1671397 Title: A VNX LUN will still be recognized as LUNZ after provisioning Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Status in multipath-tools package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: 1.

Provision 2 x LUNs from VNX to the Ubuntu 16.04 server, then rescan SCSI bus to reflect the changes. The 2 x LUNs will be recognized as below: # sudo ./inq.LinuxAMD64 Inquiry utility, Version V8.1.1.0 (Edit Level: 2102) built with SYMAPI Version V8.1.1.0 (Edit Level 2102) Copyright (c) [1997-2015] EMC Corporation.

Based on the output, it can be clearly seen that only one multipath device(dm-0) is created. Since we provisioned 2 x LUNs, 2 x multipath devices should be created. The one not managed by multipath-tools is the LUN with SN BB589458, which re-uses the same native device names as the LUNZ devices(in step 2). 5. Command "multipath -v 3 -ll" will tell the root cause that native devices(sdf and sdg) are still recognized as LUNZ devices: # sudo multipath -v 3 -ll ......

After provisioning LUNs, LUNZ should be removed, and multipath- tools should reflected the changes.
