i could be off in the weeds here, but this output looks wrong.  the
host:channel:target:lun numbers listed there suggest your cx is indeed
surfacing luns 0 and 1, but multipath is grouping them under a single
target ID.

i think emc engineers monitor this list; perhaps they can help.

also, look at this if you havent already (there's a section on clariion
cx's), and feel free to add your findings.
