Multipath is listing multiple child paths for one single path
Issue
- Same port is being registered under a new scsi target index with different numerics.
- QLogic HBA discovers the same port over and over again.
- Repeated storage targets are seen through the same switch/SAN to the same end port .
-
Same target port shows up multiple times along
unique hba->switch->storage path
