Hi, Can you post the contents of your /etc/multipath.conf file or the output of multipath -ll Possibly this is just a configuration setting.

I have been using Qlogic multipathing so far with the qla2300_conf module on RHEL3. No problem with it, but I am moving to RHEL4 and the needed qla2xxx_conf module is missing from their rmps distribution. So instead I have done a few tests with device mapper multipathing, seems to work fine so far, but nothing can beat real world experience.
