With the move to udev 'ID_SERIAL' is now always present, so
multipath would try to attach to _all_ SCSI devices.
This patch implements an 'property' blacklist, which allows to
blacklist a device based on the existence of udev properties.
Any device not providing the udev property from the whitelist
will be ignored.
The default whitelist is set to '(ID_WWN|ID_SCSI_VPD)'.

Hello Hannes,
I have a question about this patch. Which software component should
set the
ID_SCSI_VPD parameter ? Is it udev, now integrated in systemd ? I'm
asking
this because I haven't found any patch in the udev nor in the systemd
repositories that sets the ID_SCSI_VPD parameter. Does this mean that
another parameter should be used to restore support for SCSI devices that
support the VPD page 0x83 but do not report a WWN in that page ? Or does
this mean that systemd should be modified such that it sets the
ID_SCSI_VPD parameter ?
That's actually simple typo. ID_SCSI_VPD was generated by one of the
earlier instances of the sg3_utils udev rules.
It should read 'SCSI_IDENT_LUN', as this is what the current udev rules
from sg3_utils generate.
I have a patch queued in my sles12 patchset; but so far haven't found
time to clean them up and send upstream.
Will be doing so once sles12 is done...

Hello Hannes,
Have you already been able to free up some time to revisit what has been
discussed above ?
Thanks,
Bart.
