When a volume is attached to a VM in the source compute node through multipath, the related files in /dev/disk/by-path/ are like this

stack@ubuntu-server12:~/devstack$ ls /dev/disk/by-path/*24
/dev/disk/by-path/ip-192.168.3.50:3260-iscsi-iqn.1992-04.com.emc:cx.fnm00124500890.a5-lun-24
/dev/disk/by-path/ip-192.168.4.51:3260-iscsi-iqn.1992-04.com.emc:cx.fnm00124500890.b4-lun-24

The information on its corresponding multipath device is like this
stack@ubuntu-server12:~/devstack$ sudo multipath -l 3600601602ba03400921130967724e411
3600601602ba03400921130967724e411 dm-3 DGC,VRAID
size=1.0G features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='1 alua' wp=rw
|-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=-1 status=active
| `- 19:0:0:24 sdl 8:176 active undef running
`-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=-1 status=enabled
  `- 18:0:0:24 sdj 8:144 active undef running

But when the VM is migrated to the destination, the related information is like the following example since we CANNOT guarantee that all nodes are able to access the same iSCSI portals and the same target LUN number. And the information is used to overwrite connection_info in the DB before the post live migration logic is executed.

stack@ubuntu-server13:~/devstack$ ls /dev/disk/by-path/*24
/dev/disk/by-path/ip-192.168.3.51:3260-iscsi-iqn.1992-04.com.emc:cx.fnm00124500890.b5-lun-100
/dev/disk/by-path/ip-192.168.4.51:3260-iscsi-iqn.1992-04.com.emc:cx.fnm00124500890.b4-lun-100

stack@ubuntu-server12:~/devstack$ sudo multipath -l 3600601602ba03400921130967724e411
3600601602ba03400921130967724e411 dm-3 DGC,VRAID
size=1.0G features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='1 alua' wp=rw
|-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=-1 status=active
| `- 19:0:0:100 sdf 8:176 active undef running
`-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=-1 status=enabled
  `- 18:0:0:100 sdg 8:144 active undef running

As a result, if post live migration in source side uses <IP>, <IQN> and <TARGET LUN Number> to find the devices to clean up, it may use 192.168.3.51, iqn.1992-04.com.emc:cx.fnm00124500890.a5 and 100.
However, the correct one should be 192.168.3.50, iqn.1992-04.com.emc:cx.fnm00124500890.a5 and 24.

Similar philosophy in (https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1327497) can be used to fix it: Leverage the unchanged multipath_id to find correct devices to delete.
