'multipath -ll' shows device names different than what is configured in the bindings_file in RHEL 5 or 6
Issue
- multipath -ll shows devices that are named differently than what is in the bindings_file
-
My multipath maps are named incorrectly
-
If I query multipath for mpath1 it returns mpath7:
# multipath -ll mpath1 mpath7 (360050768018105b608000000000002d5) dm-7 IBM,2145 [size=32G][features=1 queue_if_no_path][hwhandler=0][rw] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=100][active] \_ 1:0:1:7 sdaf 65:240 [active][ready] \_ 0:0:1:7 sdp 8:240 [active][ready] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=20][enabled] \_ 0:0:0:7 sdh 8:112 [active][ready] \_ 1:0:0:7 sdx 65:112 [active][ready]
