I think I figured out my own question.

MPxIO and DMP do essentially the same thing: they take dual-pathed SAN space and make it look like one SAN volume (or 1 LUN). The dual pathing is for redundancy (if one path fails the other is still active).

Also, I talked with a Storage Foundation expert today and he stated that Storage Foundation will work with either DMP(Veritas product) or MPxIO(Sun product), but not both.
