Thank you for the information.

I changed my multipath.conf to the following:

cat /etc/multipath.conf
defaults {
        udev_dir                /dev
        user_friendly_names     yes
}
blacklist {
        devnode "^(ram|raw|loop|fd|md|dm-|sr|scd|st)[0-9]*"
        devnode "^hd[a-z]"
        devnode "^sda"
        devnode "^sda[0-9]"
}


devices {
 device {
               vendor                  "DELL"
               product                 "MD Virtual Disk"
               product_blacklist       "Universal Xport"
               features                "1 queue_if_no_path"
               path_grouping_policy    group_by_prio
               prio_callout            "/sbin/mpath_prio_rdac /dev/%n"
               getuid_callout          "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n"
               hardware_handler        "1 rdac"
               path_checker            rdac
               prio                    "rdac"
               failback                immediate
       }
}


then did:
# multipath -F
# service multipathd restart

Now I get:

# multipath -ll
