Having issues with Multipath configuration.

I have A Dell Unity that im connecting to on 4 targets

But when i look at my Volume groups i get errors

I have the following in my /etc/multipath.conf
cat /etc/multipath.conf
Code: 
defaults {
        polling_interval        2
        path_selector           "round-robin 0"
        path_grouping_policy    multibus
        rr_min_io               100
        failback                immediate
        no_path_retry           queue
        user_friendly_names     yes
}
blacklist  {
        wwid .*
}
blacklist_exceptions {
        wwid "3600601601e914e00d391266038b8e2f6"
    property "(ID_SCSI_VPD|ID_WWN|ID_SERIAL)"
}
multipaths {
  multipath  {
        wwid "3600601601e914e00d391266038b8e2f6"
        alias ElasticSearchSAN
  }
}


And im not sure if its related but all 4 of my targets have the same WWID. im not quiet sure how to resolve this .

Yes i have, but i still appear to be stuck. i think the issue might be the all 4 targets share the same wwid, but again the documentation seems straight forward but doesnt quiet work even when it appears to match up.
 
did you run

# multipath -a <WWID>

as well as

# systemctl restart multipath-tools.service

?

did you check if your san vendors has any additional multipath instructions for linux?

Click to expand...
no thats normal if it is only one disk (one disk = one wwid)
 
Running Multipath -v3 i get the following wonder if this might be part of the issue? not in wwids file, skipping sde
