PowerVault MD3820f Active RAID controller changing

We have a M1000e with M620 blade servers and the MD3820f with the MD1200 expansion. Currently we run XenServer 6.5 SP1 with all hotfixes applied. We have defined two Virtual Disks in our storage. The first (SAS_HDD) has RAID Controller 0 as the preferred controller and the second (SAS_SSD) has RAID Controller 1 as the preferred controller . The problem is that after some time we get an alert that SAS_HDD has RAID Controller 1 as the Current Owner. The /etc/multipath.conf that shipped with XenServer had no definition for MD38xx but only for MD36xx, so I copy pasted it and changed the name to read MD38xx.

Attached below is the current /etc/multipath.conf that is on all hosts.
