The command scsi_id can be used to discover the unique name for the two paths.
# scsi_id -u -g /dev/sdc
36000d310000069000000000000000efb
# scsi_id -u -g /dev/sdd
36000d310000069000000000000000efb
Because both devices have the same unique name, they are actually simply two paths to the same actual
volume on the Storage Center. In order to create a multipath object across both paths, the
/etc/multipath.conf file needs to be edited (note the existence of another multipath object, this is the boot
volume from the FCoE connected Storage Center).
