That's odd, never had that problem myself.  I rescan like this:

(where hostN is a FC adapter, repeat for all of them but give it some
time between iterations as you'll see paths failing for a short while):

echo 1 > /sys/class/fc_host/hostN/issue_lip
echo - - - > /sys/class/scsi_host/hostN/scan

Usually only these steps are required to discover new volumes properly,
but you can also force a rediscovery of the multipath topology and maybe
also do a restart of multipathd:

multipath -v2
pkill multipathd && multipathd
