This should work, I test that frequently.
Are the /dev/dm-xx mounted/accessed by anything else?
(And, because of a bug, I'm hoping you're running SLES9 SP1 with a
kernel updated to post-SP1, because that one was broken with DM/md
stacking due to an oversight... But then, you'd have seen an oops
already ;-)
SP2 will bring much improved DM multipath, too.
Actually, in the future you may want to annoy the Novell / SUSE support
organization with questions about SLES9 kernels, because they are fairly
different from mainline ;-)
