TP9700 seems to look like TP9500, which has configuration defaults set.
You should try and report using the TP9500 config for 9700 in
your /etc/multipath.conf:

devices {
        device {
                vendor "SGI"
                product "TP9[457]00"
                path_grouping_policy group_by_prio
                path_checker rdac
                checker rdac
                hardware_handler "1 rdac"
                prio rdac
                failback immediate
                no_path_retry queue
        }
}
