This is Red Hat 4. We use IBM's sdd (Subsystem Device Driver) for device multipath.

Running commands `hp_rescan -a' followed by `cfgcpath' made no difference. Fortunately, the software running on the box, i.e. Oracle database, has no problem. But I wonder if something is wrong and potentially can cause issues.
