Hi Wolfy, I'm a bit lost of what you are trying to do here. If mpxio is enabled, Solaris will replace the multipathed devices with a single instance and all the failover, load balancing are done in the mpxio layer. SVM/LVM will use the new mpxio devices and all benefits of multipathing should just work since they're being handled at the mpxio layer. Does it make sense?
