** Description changed:

  [Impact]
- Azure 18.04 has issue with /dev/disk/by-path/ has the same path name when vm 
has multiple disks.
+ 
+  * The PATH_ID for SCSI disks on Azure/Hyper-V might not be unique
+    with the systemd/udev version in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver).
+ 
+  * This cause issues on applications that require unique PATH_IDs;
+    for example Veritas Dynamic Multi-Pathing (DMP).
+ 
+  * The fix introduces changes to PATH_ID format/values for VMBUS,
+    which would break stable names/links, so it must be an opt-in.
+ 
+  * The kernel command line option 'udev.new_vmbus_path_id' (boolean)
+    can be used to opt in to (different) unique PATH_IDs.
+ 
+  * It's not used by default (i.e., no behavior change by default).
  
  [Test Plan]
- 1. launch 18.04 on azure
- 2. add extra disk to #1 vm
- 3. check the path

Title:
  [Azure] 18.04 - non-unique PATH_ID for SCSI disks

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in systemd source package in Bionic:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * The PATH_ID for SCSI disks on Azure/Hyper-V might not be unique
     with the systemd/udev version in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver).

   * This cause issues on applications that require unique PATH_IDs;
     for example Veritas Dynamic Multi-Pathing (DMP).

   * The fix introduces changes to PATH_ID format/values for VMBUS,
     which would break stable names/links, so it must be an opt-in.

   * The kernel command line option 'udev.new_vmbus_path_id' (boolean)
     can be used to opt in to (different) unique PATH_IDs.

   * It's not used by default (i.e., no behavior change by default).

  [Test Plan]

   1. Launch an Ubuntu 18.04 VM on Azure
   2. Add extra disks to the VM
   3. Check the disks PATH_ID for (non-)unique values
