To see your local internal disks

# multipath -v2

Grab the names from here and update your multipath.conf file to blacklist the local disks

# multipath -v3 (debug)

# multpath -v5 (not sure exactly what v5 means, except gives me info about full paths to the SAN and other useful info about the SAN…serial #s etc)
