See here: https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html-single/DM_Multipath/ Try using the "find_multipaths yes" option in /etc/multipath.conf (in the defaults section). This should instruct multipathd to only look for real multipath devices, not for local disks.
