Spectrum Virtualize Upgrade Utility is not aware of invalid multipathing configrations before upgrade

The SVC/Storwize/Virtualize Upgrade Utility does not check to see if proper multipathing is in place before code upgrades. This is a massive effort and could be done from the storage side by checking the number of host facing paths seen by the device.

    Host ports status and number of nodes that host port is logged into (as can be seen in GUI host properties) can be checked from storage side by the upgrade test tool.
