So, I think I know why multipathd was failing back correctly :)

It's because it wasn't running. I thought it was but I was wrong.

However, now I'm seeing this when it tries to failover:
Aug 26 14:04:10 multipathd: error calling out /sbin/mpath_prio_alua
8:240
Aug 26 14:04:10 kernel: SCSI error : <1 0 3 3> return code = 0x10000

I've checked /sbin/mpath_prio_alua works to run - so I'm not sure where
I should look next.

Thanks,
