When I define the host on the storage array and manually present a LUN (a \"virtual volume\" in HPE terms) I get 4 paths. Multipathd see all 4 and displays them correctly. When I do this through Openstack, Cinder only presents the LUN through a single path. Don't see any options in the HPE 3PAR Cinder driver to control that. Everything says multipathing should be automatic.\n\nAnyone run into this?",
