Operating Systems Solaris Migrate from MPXIO to Powerpath Post 302458303 by bluescreen on Thursday 30th of September 2010 10:39:22 AM

I have never done this before so take what I'm suggesting with a grain of salt. Smilie

I sounds like to need to do something like this:
  1. install the bootblock on one the internal drives
  2. change the EEPROM to boot from that internal drive
  3. boot the system from the internal drive
  4. unconfigure MPxIO (requires a reboot)
  5. install PowerPath (probably requires a reboot)
  6. attempt to boot from the san drive
