    I'm looking for information as to whether or not native AIX MPIO will work with EMC clariion when the oslevel is 5.3 TL7 and above, or if MPIO will work under AIX 6.1 and above. In the digging I've done, I have not been able to locate an MPIO support matrix or equivalent.

    Thanks in advance!

    All info you need comes from EMC, not IBM.

    So googling around and here it is:
    • download the right package: ftp://ftp.emc.com/pub/elab/aix/ODM_DEFINITIONS/EMC.AIX.5.3.0.3.tar.Z
    • uncompress and untar. Read the README.5303 file.
    • have fun!

    A quick search found this but note that this will be updated by EMC and could change so please make sure you check this with EMC support for your levels at time of install:

    The following table shows the minimum requirements for AIX hosts to run AIX Native MPIO for CLARiiON:
