I'm having issues with that link also.
*To enable user-friendly names or to specify aliases:*

Does your multipath volume contain your root-fs?
If not, you can definitely skip this optional step.
*Move the /var/lib/multipath/bindings file to /etc/multipath/bindings.*
*Set the bindings_file option in the defaults section of
/etc/multipath.conf to this new location. For example:*
On my system I don't have any of those files.
/etc/multipath.conf
/var/lib/multipath <-- that subdirectory does exist in /var/lib
The only relevant step for simple data volumes is
"5. (Optional) Specify your own names for devices by using the alias
option in the multipath section."
(and 6 to save the changes)

Thank you for the comments and the link. I'll go looking there.
The manual I refer to is - SC33-8413-08 - How to use FC-attached SCSI
devices with Linux on z Systems
OK, thanks for letting me know.
Parts of this book are superseded by the more often updated
"Device Drivers, Features, and Commands" book
or respective distro documentation (for the case here).
