Comment 9 for bug 1135453

This might be self inflicted. First, we have really good multipath documentation now.

You're better off following our docs first and then supplementing it with the vendor
docs if it doesn't work. Many popular SANs have built-in support.

https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/dm-multipath-chapter.html

HP MSA's are already included in the built-in DB, your config file is likely
not needed so lets start by eliminating that as a variable by following these
directions.

https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/multipath-setting-up-dm-multipath.html#multipath-setup-overview

plus your path alias, and,
# update-initramfs -u -k all

To copy the multipath.conf to the ramdisk.

Make all these changes, reboot, and before you shutdown again grab:
 * sudo dmsetup table
 * sudo udisks --dump
 * sudo -i; echo 'show config' | multipathd -k

and attach to the bug. Thanks.

I'm hoping you have a newer MSA and this is just a mp jumbled
config.
