For a quick overview of setting up MPxIO and the other configs:

This output allows you to select your particular fibre paths to ensure that you
aren''t selecting fibre devices you don''t wish to multipath.
[root at emv24001:~]# luxadm -e port
/devices/pci at 1e,600000/SUNW,emlxs at 2/fp at 0,0:devctl
CONNECTED
/devices/pci at 1e,600000/SUNW,emlxs at 3/fp at 0,0:devctl
CONNECTED
Leave the MPxIO disable to yes to keep local disks out of management. Cut down
the luxadm -e port output in the format below (keep path, cut port).

it off, in which case change the option to "none".
