I have connected my Initiator to both the ports of Ethernet Adapter(Targ= et) to get 2 IO Paths, from the above data "/dev/nvme0n1" is path= 1 and "/dev/nvme1n1" is path 2 for the same namespace.
Note: I am using Null Block device on the Target Side.

But still the multipath is showing an error ie no path= to Host for All the NVMe Drives mapped on the Initiator. Does multipathd s= upports NVMe over Fabric ??
Or what I am missing from configurati= on side ??

Thanks in advance!!
