No. ifconfig (the tool that sets those parameters) will automatically start in.mpathd if needed, based on the parameters set. > IMHO it should be put under SMF, like Sun Cluster does by > creating new smf service - svc://network/multipath:cluster I agree; it should be under SMF. It's one of a class of on-demand services (like dhcpagent) that are currently not well served by SMF.
