.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBmpt_sas\fR host bus adapter driver is a nexus driver that supports the LSI SAS200x/2108 series of chips. These chips support SAS/SATA interfaces, including tagged and untagged queuing, SATA 3G/SAS 3G/SAS 6G. The \fBmpt_sas\fR driver supports the following Dell cards: PERC H200 Integrated, PERC H200 Adapter, PERC H200 Modular, and 6Gbps SAS HBA. 
.SS "Configuration"
.sp
.LP
The \fBmpt_sas\fR driver is configured by defining properties in \fBmpt_sas.conf\fR. These properties override the global SCSI settings. The \fBmpt_sas\fR driver supports one modifiable property:

Solaris I/O multipathing is enabled or disabled on SAS devices with the \fBmpxio-disable\fR property. Specifying \fBmpxio-disable="no"\fR activates I/O multipathing, while \fBmpxio-disable="yes"\fR disables I/O multipathing. 
.sp
Solaris I/O multipathing can be enabled or disabled on a per port basis. Per port settings override the global setting for the specified ports. 
.sp
The following example shows how to disable multipathing on port 0 whose parent is \fB/pci@0,0/pci8086,2940@1c/pci1000,72@0\fR:
