I have no real experience with MPP so there are probably others who=20
can give more details but MPP is an entirely separate 3rd-party=20
multipath driver framework, a bit like EMC's PowerPath or other=20
vendor's multipathing solutions. Afaik, it supports several types of=20
device including RDAC.

Part of your problem appears to be that you are trying to use /both/=20
mpp and device-mapper multipath on the same system at the same time.=20
Since they both try to do the same job this is guaranteed to lead to=20
problems - you need to chose one or the other & get it correctly=20
configured for your hardware.
