Multipath 'user friendly names' not working for storage.
Issue
- Multipath configuration parameter
user friendly namesnot working for storage even after adding "device" section for the Storage in/etc/multipath.conffile. This storage does not have default compiled in multipath configuration like other storage devices in the configuration file/usr/share/doc/device-mapper-multipath-0.4.7/multipath.conf.defaults. - Added "device" section for the "PURE FlashArray" storage configuration as per Is there a standard dm-multipath configuration for PURE storage?, but the 'user_friendly_names' parameter doesn't work and
multipath -llshows the WWID for the LUNs.
