SUMMARY: Mpxio and Internal Fiber Drives

Thank you for all the responses.

The solution was to edit /kernel/drv/qlc.conf as follows:

You need to edit /kernel/drv/qlc.conf and put in

name="qlc" parent="/pci@9,600000" unit-address="2" mpxio-disable="yes"

SunFire V490
Solaris 8
Sun Qlogic cards / Mpxio
SVM Boot disk
VxVM 4.1 Application data

Recently we have been migrating to Qlogic and Mpxio ( away from
Emulex/Powerpath ).
On the server above we had 4 internal drives

          /pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/ssd@w21000014c36bcfdb,0


Now,  after installing Mpxio and the Qlogic cards
Mpxio has taken "control" of c2.

This is not what I want
I only want Mpxio to manage my EMC data ( which are c6 and c7 -- virtual c8
)

c6                             fc-fabric    connected    configured
unknown
c6::50060482c4654e43           disk         connected    configured
unknown
c7                             fc-fabric    connected    configured
unknown
c7::50060482c4654e4c           disk         connected    configured

How do I "tell" mpxio to NOT manage c2?
