Is anyone using ASM in a EVA8000 configuration using Multi-Pathing?

We have seen that, without any multipathing software, only the device
files corresponding 
to the primary path(s) can be owned by Oracle. The remaining 7 device
files corresponding
to the secondary paths must not be owned by Oracle, otherwise ASM gets
confused. 

So evidently we must use a multipathing software which will present 1
virtualized path to ASM.

We are a HPUX environment. What product should we use?
Secure Path?
