So if I got it right, MPIO recognizes by itself which paths are available and makes the single volume visible/usable. There is nothing to do with mkpatch, chpath or lspath to configure like load balancing or failover or anything?

I thought you needed those commands to configure something 1st or whatever.

Edit: Also if there is a lot of different paths / SAN volumes visible, maybe I just don't want to handle all of them with MPIO (automatically if that is the case from the writings above). Do I have a choice?
