Why does 'multipath -l' output shows paths as "undef" in Red Hat Enterprise Linux?
Issue
- In
multipath -loutput, the paths are listed as[undef] - It appeared
multipath –ltrying to retrieve some information that is not defined. It's output looks like LUNs are not available, but it is not. multipath -llists the paths as[active][undef]where asmultipath -llpath status as[active][ready]?
