SOLVED.
While I do not pretend to understand the underlying mechanics of why this worked, the following
cd /etc
mv multipath.conf multipath.conf.hold
touch multipath.conf
service multipathd restart
mv multipath.conf.hold multipath.conf
service multipathd restart
multipath -v2
resolved the issue for me.

Hello,
I have a RHEL5.10 Server (x86_64) system connected to a storage array via iscsi. After configuring iscsi and multipathd and installing the database, all seemed well. One reboot, the 8 iscsi sessions were established and appear to be correct:

I've looked around a bit but I don't see this problem addressed. Any ideas where I can take this next? Thanks,
