Verify the MPxIO configuration

After the system has rebooted, use the format or luxadm command to verify that the MPxIO enablement has been successful.

NOTE:

In the format or luxadm output, controllers c2 and c3 no longer show up. A single, virtual controller path such as c4 now displays the MPxIO–configured LUNs. The cfgadm output does NOT change after the MPxIO enablement.

1.Verify with either format or luxadm probe that only one device file is shown for each LUN:

# echo format
