Still the zfcp shows the older FCP device under /etc/zfcp

Ideally, you dedicate the FCP devices with the same virtual devno to the guest in the DR site as to the guest in the main site.

If that's really not possible for you, you indeed probably would add the DR virtual FCP devnos to /etc/zipl.conf [designed method for the root-fs] and additionally to /etc/zfcp.conf. Re-create initramfs. Re-write zipl boot record. Would be easiest if you could do that while booted on the main site.

The different storage WWPN and LUN in the DR site, should not be much of a problem as your FCP devices are NPIV-enabled and I assume you have a somewhat recent Linux distribution (such as RHEL 7 or later?), so zfcp auto lun scan would automatically discover paths in the DR site for you.

The replicated volume still shows the older WWPN, FCPS

Not sure if I can update it from 3270 emulator logon ?

The full console output is helpful (not necessarily sufficient, though) in such cases, especially the parts about "Kernel command line:". I usually spool the Linux console of my guests to get the full output later on.

this usually means that the storage device with the root filesystem
can't be found. Does the VM definitions match the Linux parameters?
