Thanks for looking into this!

Regarding the multipath error, I changed the multipath configurations to put 
Linux instance volumes in multipath blacklist.. Then I don't see the multipath 
error. And I was able to deploy couple more instances successfully in this 
environment. However, unfortunately, when I tried to deploy more, I got the 
same problem. The message shows the disk is not writable during the 
deployment..  And I noticed that the async io is still very high (see below 
number.)
fs.aio-max-nr = 65536
fs.aio-nr = 131072

Then I also increased the air-max-nr to a bigger number. And I can deploy more 
instances successfully.. But the deployment time is also getting much longer!  
I think it's related to the io waiting/notification time. As you can see from 
below number, the aio-nr increase a lot with just one instance deployed (from 
131072 to 133120).
fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576
fs.aio-nr = 133120

So I'm thinking the problem may tie to the KVM/QEMU. Maybe the qemu
couldn't handle the async io properly on s390x? Or need some changes in
the qemu/libvirt configuration?
