Since I don't have any rawhide build for s390x, I have to guess based on
the mockups in the wiki that this is about the column WWID of the "Other
SAN Devices" notetab for Advanced Device Selection. In other words, not
for multipath devices, where the WWID seems certainly the right identifier.

The same things as for iSCSI device paths applies for DASD and zFCP.
/dev/disk/by-path/... contains exactly those identifiers, under which
users of s390x uniquely identify their disks at a glance. It would be a
great usability improvement, if you could also show the path instead of
the WWID for DASD and zFCP.
