RHEL 7.1 + multipath 0.4.9-77.el7 + 3PAR PP
The first disk looks normal
[root@localhost ~]# multipath -ll
360002ac000000000000003f5000239b1 dm-3 3PARdata,VV
size=200G features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='1 alua' wp=rw
|-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=50 status=active
| |- 1:0:1:0 sdc 8:32 active ready running
| |- 1:0:2:0 sdd 8:48 active ready running
| |- 8:0:0:0 sdf 8:80 active ready running
| `- 8:0:2:0 sdh 8:112 active ready running
`-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=1 status=enabled
|- 1:0:0:0 sdb 8:16 active ghost running
|- 1:0:3:0 sde 8:64 active ghost running
|- 8:0:1:0 sdg 8:96 active ghost running
`- 8:0:3:0 sdi 8:128 active ghost running

but when I add second disk to RCgroup,export to host, the first disk ghost become ready
[root@localhost ~]# multipath -ll

Can you expand on your setup ?

1 array with 8 ports zoned from the array to the host ?
2 arrays with remote copy and peer persistence with 4 ports from each array zoned to the host ?

Can you also paste your hosts persona on the array (or arrays)
- it should be Generic-ALUA Persona 2

And also your /etc/multipath.conf file.

Looking at the output, the priorities detected for the path groups looks odd .. once you post your config it'll be easier to work out.

Hello, I think it is related to kernel used. When I was playing with PP on Centos 7.6, then there was problem with PP until I installed elrepo kernel-lt. Probably something related to NPIV support in kernel 3.10.x. These days we use Oracle Linux 7.7 with kernel-uek.
