I am not familiar with this hardware, and a quick looks shows that
there are a lot of variations on the p620. However I did find
https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/thinkcentre_pdf/ts_p620_redhat_enterprise_linux_8_installation_v1.0.pdf
and https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/pdf/configuring_device_mapper_multipath/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-8-Configuring_device_mapper_multipath-en-US.pdf

I haven't used multipath and hope some people who have better ideas
will chime in, but at this point I would see if passing the PXE kernel
boot a  `nvme_core.multipath=N` helps any.

Stephen J Smoogen.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Flame wars in
sci.astro.orion. I have seen SPAM filters overload because of Godwin's
Law. All those moments will be lost in time... like posts on  BBS...
time to reboot.
