mpxio is enabled.

The cards are Qlogic QLE2562 cards, they actually work absolutely fine in terms of the arrays they're connected to show up absolutely fine in the system, and are 100% usable (all the different paths for the arrays show up for instance under format).  It's just that after adding the things required into scsi_vhci.conf, and running stmsboot -e, it doesn't actually use mpxio after a reboot.

The only thing that I wondered is whether the system is picking up a generic FC HBA driver rather than a specific Qlogic driver, and that's what's stopping the system using mpxio.

Thanks,

James.
