The same LUN have been exported to the host from different lun
number twice, each time create multipath for this lun, after
second time the multipath might have zombie paths which devices
doesn't actually exist.
Check zombie paths:
If a failed path have the same wwid with an active path, but its
sg_id.lun are not equal to this active path. This failed path
might be a zombie path(a lun can't be exported from a different
lun number to a host at the same time).
cleanup zombie paths:
delete the zombie paths' device from sysfs, which will clean up
the zombie paths both in kernel and userspace.
