Multipath device 'mpatha' does not exist while using "clearpart --drives=mpatha --initlabel" in kickstart configuration, why ?

Issue

While using the clearpart directive with mpatha as given below, the installer complains that the device mpatha does not exist.

# clearpart --drives=mpatha --initlabel

But using --initlabel without mpatha shows that mpatha is cleared. Why is this so?
```
# clearpart --all --initlabel
```
