thanks
whats being presented as reported by /proc/scsi/scsi
seems to match the keys in /etc/multipath.conf :
[root@illuminati scsi]# cat scsi

Thanks for the suggestion about setting the defaults - I'll check
with product vendor.
(Re the trailing whitespace after the product name - so some devices
present with a trailing whitespace in the name ?)
Still curious about why the defaults are being used.
cheers

What does /proc/scsi/scsi say? Perhaps your config doesn't
match what the system is being presented.
For my MPIO my vendor suggested setting the defaults manually
in the config file so my config file is:
defaults {
udev_dir /dev
polling_interval 10
default_selector "round-robin 0"
default_path_grouping_policy multibus
default_getuid_callout "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n"
default_prio_callout /bin/true
rr_wmin_io 100
rr_weight priorities
failback immediate
}
blacklist {
wwid 26353900f02796769
devnode "^(ram|raw|loop|fd|md|dm-|sr|scd|st)[0-9]*"
devnode "^hd[a-z][0-9]*"
devnode "^cciss*"
}
devices {
device {
vendor "3PARdata"
product "VV "
path_grouping_policy multibus
path_checker tur
no_path_retry 60
}
}
