Ok I will open a separate bug for that problem.
I think we can now close this bug here.

Title:
  Installer cannot use DASD if it was used with LVM before

Status in lvm2 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  == Comment: #0 - Michael Roesch  - 2016-01-21 07:31:16 ==
  A DASD that has been used with and partitioned for LVM, cannot be used for 
installation. The installer cannot format the disk. It throws the error "An 
installation step failed. You can try to run the failing item again from the 
menu, or skip it and choose something else. The failing step is: Configure 
direct access storage devices (DASD)". 
  When you just select the DASD without formatting, the installer accepts the 
DASD, but hangs at "Scanning disks..." at 45 percent. I have attached the 
syslog.

With this fix you can format a DASD that was used for LVM.

I have however found a problem, of which I don't know if this is related
or a new one or is even expected behaviour. If this is separate, please
tell me so that I can open a new bug for this.

Here's what I tried:

- Select DASD (which I used for an installation with LVM before)
- Format the Device -> no
- Finish
- Partitioning method: manual

- Menu "Partition disks":
DASD 0.0.5d32 (ECKD) - 7.4 GB IBM S390 DASD drive
> #1500.0 MB   ext2
> #2  6.9 GBK  lvm
>49.2 kB   FREE SPACE
LVM VG rootVG, LV rootLV - 6.9 GB Linux device-mapper (linear)
> #1  6.9 GB   ext4

- Go Back

- Select "Configure direct access storage devices (DASD)"

- Select previous DASD again; DASD is displayed as 0.0.5d32 (online)

- Format the device -> Yes

- Error:

Installation step failed
An installation step failed. You can try to run the failing item again from the 
menu, or skip it and choose something
else. The failing step is: Configure direct access storage devices (DASD)

/proc/partitions looks like this:

major minor  #blocks  name

10  4 ram0
11  4 ram1
12  4 ram2
13  4 ram3
14  4 ram4

17  4 ram7
18  4 ram8
19  4 ram9

1   12  4 ram12

9407212240 dasda
941 488304 dasda1
9426723792 dasda2

I have attached the syslog that was created during my test.
