That seems more like a documentation problem than anything else, unless I'm very much mistaken. I delivered the backport of MPxIO support for mpt(7d) to the S10 Update 5 gate quite some time ago. You will need to have at least the -14 revs of 125081 (sparc) or 125082 (x64) installed in order to get this feature. The Multipathing admin guide was definitely updated to include the relevant information - I know this because I wrote the necessary changes myself :) SATA MPxIO, on the other hand, is not quite ready, though it is very close. I don't have an ETA for you on when this feature will be available, sorry. James C.
