I added some more verbosity when starting up multipathd. Then before the 
error message regarding the path is already in the pathvec, I see the 
following:

I also recognized, when I just restart multipathd after above error, then 
sdb is immediately added to the path.

I also tried combinations of other qla2xxx parameters to raise some timeout 
values..., e.g.:
options qla2xxx qlport_down_retry=5 ql2xlogintimeout=30 
ql2xloginretrycount=5 ql2xplogiabsentdevice=1 ql2xfdmienable=1 
ql2xmaxqdepth=64 ql2xextended_error_logging=1 ql2xqfullrampup=180
but that did not produced any observable difference.

so still no real solution, any idea what could block multipathd to add sdb 
to the path on first startup?

kind regards
Sebastian
