+ zipl uses zipl_helper.device-mapper helper perl script to determine
underlying device geometry/layout to create the bootmap records, when rootfs is
on LVM / multipath devices.
+ That script calls dasdview to get the geometry of the DASD drives using
deprecated -f options, which is now redundant given that device argument is now
simply positional and required. With that flag, dasdview now exits with failure
and the zipl_helper.device-mapper tool uses incorrect built-in fallback
defaults, which are most likely wrong.
+
+ Without this fix installing onto multipath devices, or root on LVM
+ (default) is not possible.

If 'use entire disk and set up LVM' is selected during installation of a
zVM guest, the system fails to IPL with the error:

DASD devices were configured in this instance.
The error is not seen when non-LVM partitioning is selected (e.g. User entire
disk).
