Hello Chris, > Per multipath.conf(5): > | strict Both multipath and multipathd treat only such devices as multipath devices which have been > | part of a multipath map previously, and which are therefore listed in the wwids_file. > | Users can manually set up multipath maps using the multipathd add map command.
