This should be fixed in Xenial/Yakkety by now. Unfortunately as part of the backport for bug #1567602 (fixed in 4.4.0-31.50 and later). ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which

Comparing that to the working 4.4 kernel it looks like device handler fails to receive valid data. The info should look like this: [1.653229] sd 0:2:0:0: alua: supports implicit TPGS [1.653395] sd 0:2:0:0: alua: port group c339 rel port c339 [1.653426] sd 0:2:0:0: alua: rtpg failed
