Hi James, Aladair, when using multipath the daemon might have specified a different device handler than used by default. (Eg Clariion in ALUA mode). For these cases we currently cannot setup a multipath map automatically as scsi_dh_attach() will fail. Instead we should be trying to reattach with the correct device handler and only return an error if that fails. Please apply.
