If you have 2 io domains then each has one path to the device. In such case, present each path to the guest and let mpxio/stms do its job. I wouldn't use svm absent a specific requirement, use zfs instead.

My scenario is that I have a split bus T5240 with LUN’s coming from the SAN. I have 2 large filesystems (600+GB) that due to external SAN factors are made up of several LUN’s striped together. So question is, should the metadevice be created at the IO domain level and presented to the guest in the form of one filesystem and be part of an mpgroup to handle failover or should the guest be given all the LUN’s (with prim/sec LUN’s in their own mpgroup) and the metadevice created there ?
