'sd' devices are not created however 'sg' devices could be seen for external storage.

Issue

• sd devices are missing for some of the paths from external storage.

[6:0:0:22]   disk    IBM      2145             0000  /dev/sdbt  /dev/sg82
[6:0:0:23]   disk    IBM      2145             0000  /dev/sdbu  /dev/sg83
  - sd devices are missing for following paths from external storage
[6:0:0:24]   disk    IBM      2145             0000  -         /dev/sg119
[6:0:0:25]   disk    IBM      2145             0000  -         /dev/sg120
[6:0:0:26]   disk    IBM      2145             0000  -         /dev/sg121

PQual value is not eqaul to 1 which could lead to missing sd devices as per Why scsi device name not created for all paths of LUN?
