Yeah, most likely.
We're running RH AS 3.0 with Dell CX-300 (really an EMC Clarion) with DMP enabled. iostat with the -x option produces garbage results althought without the -x option, results look ok.
I've also seen this with iostat on Solaris attached to EMC Syms. iostat will produce garbage data. The best way to look at disk stats would be to use a SAN disk monitoring tool which the vendor will quite happily sell you.
