AIX MPIO is supported on AIX starting from AIX 5.2 TL10, AIX 5.3 TL6 and AIX 6.1 SP2 though various PTFs and fixes may be required (see interoperability matrix and AIX MPIO documentation below). It is supported with DS4000 firmware 6.60.xx.xx and higher on DS4800, DS4700, DS4200, DS4500 and DS4300. MPIO is the strategic driver for all current DS4000 platforms in AIX 6.1 and up – except for DS4400 which is RDAC only. RDAC is the default driver on all levels of AIX 5.2 and 5.3.
In AIX Version 6.1, the DS4K products are configured as Multipath I/O (MPIO) devices by default. A DS4K product using the FCPARRAY (RDAC) driver may be migrated to the MPIO driver by using the instructions found in the documents below, or all DS4K devices may be migrated by uninstalling the devices.fcp.disk.array.rte package and then running the cfgmgr command or rebooting.

Default driver on AIX5.3：
BTW:当前主机连接一台DS4800存储

Change default drive to MPIO from RDAC:
# manage_disk_drivers -c 5 DS4800 currently RDAC/fcparray Change to alternate driver? [Y/N] Y DS4800 now managed by MPIO It is necessary to perform a bosboot before rebooting the system in order to incorporate this change into the boot image.

AIX 6.1 TL4的命令与之前的版本有所不同：
#manage_disk_drivers Usage : manage_disk_drivers [-l] manage_disk_drivers -d device -o driver_option manage_disk_drivers -h Meaning of the Flags: -l: Display the Devices, Present Drivers, and Driver Options -d: The Device to change the Driver -o: Selects the new Driver -h: should be help but is interpreted as an illegal option #manage_disk_drivers -l 查看当前使用的是哪种多路径模式 Device Present Driver Driver Options DS4100 AIX_APPCM AIX_APPCM,AIX_fcparray DS4300 AIX_APPCM AIX_APPCM,AIX_fcparray DS4500 AIX_APPCM AIX_APPCM,AIX_fcparray DS4700 AIX_APPCM AIX_APPCM,AIX_fcparray DS4800 AIX_APPCM AIX_APPCM,AIX_fcparray DS5020 AIX_APPCM AIX_APPCM DS5100/DS5300 AIX_APPCM AIX_APPCM AIX_APPCM #manage_disk_drivers -d DS4800 -o AIX_fcparray 将DS4800由AIX_APPCM（MPIO）改成AIX_fcparray（RDAC） #bosboot -a

只用過hp mutipath這個包…
