sorry, I did not know what mpath_prio's were available in RHEL.

You can download the latest multipath tools tree from
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/storage/multipath-tools/.git;a=tree,
built the tools, copy only the _hp_sw or _tpc to /sbin and if it helps.

BTW, do note that doing this may invalidate your support contract with
your vendor (linux distributor).
