We are using XenServer 6.5 ACS 4.5 iSCSI LUN's for Primary and when I enabled multipathing I enabled maintenance mode for the LUN in question and I see all vm's migrate to another they did not reboot or shutdown. Once in maintenance I was able to remove it from ACS and XenServer and then re-add in each location.
I haven't had to do it again since then but using shared storage I was able to reproduce what you mentioned below about old documentation.
