That multipath.conf entry seems to be missing some key elements:
device {
vendor "SUN"
product "CSM200_R"
product_blacklist "Universal Xport"
features "1 queue_if_no_path"
path_checker rdac
hardware_handler "1 rdac"
path_grouping_policy group_by_prio
prio "rdac"
failback immediate
}

That would imply you are using the 'readsector0' checker program
instead of the 'rdac' one.
The multipath.conf above assumes that this controller is indeed an RDAC
one. I don't have one so the configuration might be completly wrong.
