# mpathadm show mpath-support libmpscsi_vhci.so

Uses MPAPI interfaces to show the devices supported by various failover
modules.

The information below is for opensolaris/express (snv_73+) folks:

The scsi_vhci mpxio code is now visible
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/uts/common/io/scsi/adapters/scsi_vhci
with some of the failover implementations available in the "fops"
directory. Failover modules are now supported by separate kernel
modules

  <leningrad:cth> modinfo | grep scsi_vhci
   22 7be4c000  1a2a8 189   1  scsi_vhci (SCSI VHCI Driver 1.71)
   24 7be78648   1318   -   1  scsi_vhci_f_asym_sun (f_asym_sun 1.8)
   25  13f9fc0   3538   -   1  scsi_vhci_f_asym_lsi (f_asym_lsi 1.21)
   26  13fd2a8   2630   -   1  scsi_vhci_f_asym_emc (f_asym_emc 1.3)
   27 7be67a98    3f8   -   1  scsi_vhci_f_sym_emc (f_sym_emc 1.1)
   28 7be79890    588   -   1  scsi_vhci_f_sym (f_sym 1.13)
   29 7be7a000   3148   -   1  scsi_vhci_f_tpgs (f_tpgs 1.8)

and the failover module plumbed shows up in the device attach
messages (the f_sym below).

  <leningrad:cth> grep f_sym /var/adm/messages | tail -1
  Sep  7 02:20:15 leningrad scsi: [ID 799468 kern.info] ssd38 at scsi_vhci0:
  name g600c0ff0000000000047dd400821c900, bus address
  g600c0ff0000000000047dd400821c900 f_sym

If needed, device specific override is also easier to administer via
scsi_vhci.conf.
