Configuring MPxIO on Solaris 8

OS/ Version: Solaris / 5.8
Software: SAN 4.4.8 (SAN Foundation Kit)

     I installed the SAN 4.4.8 Foundation kit to implement STMS for a dual
path to both an A5200 and to a Hitachi 9500V storage subsystem. After the
installation of software and patches, I rebooted the server with mpxio
disabled. I then modified the scsi_vhci.conf file to enable mpxio. I rebooted
the server once more and then updated scsi_vhci.conf with the
"device-type-scsi-options" info. Upon reboot, I still do not see the drives
under mpxio control nor were any addl devices created. I do and have been able
to see the devices via format. A stmsboot -L shows the device and the
corresponding STMS device name but there are no links or devices referencing
this name. I even did a devfsadm -Cv to clean the links and rebooted with
reconfigure but still nothing. What did I miss? Does mpxio work on Solaris 8
using QLGC single HBA cards for the A5200 and JNI FCE-1473N cards for the
Hitachi? Any help would be appreciated.

Thx,
James
