Multipathing information:
numpaths:	2
c1t0d3 state=enabled			type=secondary
c4t1d3 state=disabled			type=primary

In the Multipathing information section of this output, the numpaths line shows that there are 2 paths to the device, and the following two lines show that the path to c1t0d3 is active (state=enabled) and that the other path c4t1d3 has failed (state=disabled).

The type field is shown for disks on Active/Passive type disk arrays such as the EMC CLARiiON, Hitachi HDS 9200 and 9500, Sun StorEdge 6xxx, and Sun StorEdge T3 array. This field indicates the primary and secondary paths to the disk.

The type field is not displayed for disks on Active/Active type disk arrays such as the EMC Symmetrix, Hitachi HDS 99xx and Sun StorEdge 99xx Series, and IBM ESS Series. Such arrays have no concept of primary and secondary paths.
