[Bug 1571561] Re: cio_ignore blacklist is no longer active after installation

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

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.

** Changed in: zipl-installer (Ubuntu)

  cio_ignore blacklist is no longer active after installation

Bug description:
  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.
