^^ here's why you're seeing no output from "multipath -v2". At this
verbosity level the command only prints output when it changes
something. Since your mpath0 device was already up and running at this
point there's no changes to make and -v2 will be silent.

If there's nothing using the device then you can try running "multipath
-F" to flush all multipath devices then re-running "multipath -v2" -
this should re-create the map and print something to the terminal
indicating what it's done.

No.
