looking at the configuration it looks like that the same LUN is exported
using _two_ different naa. The problem here is that VMware stores a
checksum of the inquiry data on the VMFS and ignores a path to a volume
if the SCSI inquiry data do _not_ match. Why? Because it could be a two
week old snapshot and using it a as a multipathing target would be
fatal.

I assume that is the problem.

Cheers,
        Thomas
