Hi folks  -- 

I have an m5000 running solaris 10 update 7 - with mpxio on SAN  -  I have SVM 
soft partitions configured on top of the  mpxio device names : 

d100  -p <mpxiodevicename1s0>  250g 
d101 -p <mpxiodevicename2s0> 300g 


what I have found recently much to my total surprise was the following:
 
when i metacleared d100  after umounting the corresponding  FS - and removed 
the lun for mpxiodevicename1 from SAN - the mpxiodevicename2 changed to 
mpxiodevicename1 - which was totally unexpected - and as a result d101 
collapsed the Filesystem 

It has been documented in several places that mpxio maintains device name 
persistence obviously  that's not the case here

has anyone seen something like this before - is there a known fix ? 

thankfully,
--Balu
