Why does 'multipath -l' output shows paths as "undef" in Red Hat Enterprise Linux?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • In multipath -l output, the paths are listed as [undef]
  • It appeared multipath –l trying to retrieve some information that is not defined. It's output looks like LUNs are not available, but it is not.
  • multipath -l lists the paths as [active][undef] where as multipath -ll path status as [active][ready]?
[root@localhost ~]# multipath -l
