In this server it is a local disk so it was added to the multipath blacklist

root@linux:~ # vi /etc/multipath.conf
blacklist {
devnode “^(ram|raw|loop|fd|md|dm-|sr|scd|st)[0-9]*”
devnode “^hd[a-z]”
devnode “^sd[ab]$”
devnode “^cciss!c[0-9]d[0-9]*”
}

If you are in a VMware host, you can safely disable this module.

root@linux:~ # cp /var/opt/OV/bin/instrumentation/mp_mon.cfg /var/opt/OV/conf/OpC/

In the configuration file /var/opt/OV/conf/OpC/mp_mon.cfg set disable to yes

root@linux:~ # vi /var/opt/OV/conf/OpC/mp_mon.cfg
disable = yes
