RE: Problem using dm-multipath on first of 2 LUNs on system

>         My /etc/multipath.conf file is basic but I have tried creating an alias entry that looks like “multipaths {multipath {wwid   36005076801810085c800000000000194 alias os}}” for the first LUN but the results are the same, it still won’t create any device special files for the first LUN.
