[block/lun1 (/dev/md126)] 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.
