Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • multipath -ll shows devices that are named differently than what is in the bindings_file
  • My multipath maps are named incorrectly

  • If I query multipath for mpath1 it returns mpath7:

    # multipath -ll mpath1
    mpath7 (360050768018105b608000000000002d5) dm-7 IBM,2145
