MDI Enabling and Disabling of a Path

This system administration feature is new in the Solaris Express 6/06 release.

The MDI enabling and disabling functionality provides a path management mechanism to enable or disable a path for a target device. These new interfaces to MDI provide a user to enable or disable the path from a pHCI to a target-address and a client service address (LUN address in case of scsi_vhci). This feature can be used by diagnostic applications to ensure that no user I/O is routed on the path on which diagnostic operations are being performed.
