There is an issue when adding storage to file system and the device is using the

The following is an example:
[root@n1mwpfmgr bin]# ./ibrix_pv -a
Starting discovery of physical volumes on n1mwpseg01
Found 0 existing volumes
Added 0 new volumes
Missing PV d1 with Uuid: hJnRZP-Dy7B-jkso-STek-8Wou-hrjC-v7Vu6D device:
/dev/mapper/mpath1
Missing PV d8 with Uuid: ecQ7xt-9x3D-k6z9-fAkt-Sx3P-sBo7-N1JrJ9 device:
/dev/mapper/mpath8
Missing PV d4 with Uuid: 2ssPxd-Rb0G-AwD7-6f4R-1UHD-gh4U-VVmY4a
device: /dev/mapper/mpath4
Missing PV d2 with Uuid: Ey2c1C-SFqZ-Na14-C1se-ar5f-JpCw-mT9Nen device:

/dev/mapper/mpath5
Missing PV d7 with Uuid: jRpbJF-Teiw-NQqU-GAGS-MFg8-tfVZ-UfX58w device:
/dev/mapper/mpath7
Finished discovery of physical volumes on n1mwpseg01
Starting discovery of physical volumes on n1mwpseg04
Found 0 existing volumes
Added 0 new volumes
Resolution:
The ibrix_pv -a -o mpath command needs to run in order to discover the new
storage under multipath control.
