Thanks for the help. Unfortunately, I don't have /sbin/mpath_prio_hp_sw.
I have other mpath_prio files but not the hp one. I guess that means I
need a newer version of multipath-tools. How can I upgrade to the latest
version?

I have no access to HSGs but maybe this generic statements (plus some
wisdom from hwtable.c) helps:
First, you are actually forcing multipath-tools to use all paths by
stating "multibus" in you multipath section.
Everything you put there will replace the defaults and the device
sections. Just be minimalistic there. In the
latest multipath-tools code there actually is a configuration for
"DEC"/"HSG80". From this, does the following
multipath-conf help you?
defaults {
rr_min_io 64
user_friendly_names yes
}
multipaths {
multipath {
wwid 360001fe1000d85f000039341397602d2
alias disk1
}
multipath {
wwid 360001fe1000d85f0000393413976024b
alias disk2
}
}
devices {
device {
vendor "DEC"
product "HSG80"
path_grouping_policy group_by_prio
prio_callout "/sbin/mpath_prio_hp_sw /dev/%n"
hardware_handler "1 hp_sw"
path_checker hp_sw
no_path_retry 5
}
device {
vendor "DEC"

}

I trying to setup multipathing with HSG80s on a Redhat 4 update 5 host.
I have it mostly working, the problem I'm having is that the 2 disks
I've created on the HSGs only go through one controller. I set the
preferred path for each disk to use a different controller but dm always
sets them to go through just one. I also can't find a way to move a disk
to the other controller, I thought multipathd -k switch would work but
it doesn't. Does anyone have RedHat4 and HSG80s working properly with
multipathing? Here is my multipath.conf file and multipath -ll output:
