Multipath issue. mpath name is linked to wrong LUN
Issue
In the file /etc/multipath.conf, I have the following configuration:
defaults {
user_friendly_names yes
}
.
.
.
multipath {
wwid 3600601600fb91f00ec60cbdb1bebdf11
alias mpath8
}
multipath {
wwid 3600601604ab91F00006026ad4860e011
alias mpath9
When system boots the mpath name mpath8 links to wwid 3600601604ab91F00006026ad4860e011 instead of 3600601600fb91f00ec60cbdb1bebdf11.
After login, I can verify that LUN 3600601600fb91f00ec60cbdb1bebdf11 is configured on the system.
After dismounting filesystem I can re-run multipath -ll command and all the mpath names are configured correctly.
