  Insufficient suitable contiguous allocatable extents for logical volume pvmove0: 404479 more required
    Unable to allocate temporary LV for pvmove.

Fix:

Hot-add Hot-remove: linux scsi subsystem

We've got erroneous scsi entry, remove it:

for n in `seq 0 0`; do echo $n; echo "scsi remove-single-device 1 0 0 $n" > /proc/scsi/scsi ; echo "scsi remove-single-device 0 0 0 $n" > /proc/scsi/scsi ; done

Now, we attached new FC LUN as 0:0:0:0 and 1:0:0:0

for n in `seq 0 0`; do echo $n; echo "scsi add-single-device 1 0 0 $n" > /proc/scsi/scsi ; echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 0 $n" > /proc/scsi/scsi ; done

now, multipath -ll will show you, that multipath deteceted deviced with extra path to it, and created new device for it:
