    This is more up to the storage vendor if he provides mpio capable devices or not (with or without an ODM support kit). For example, there are storage boxes they don't come up as mpio disks by default. However after installing a right ODM support supplied by the storage vendor they become mpio disks.

    Do I understand correctly that every arrays can be MPIO-compatible on condition that we install ODM ?

    Not all disk devices and tape devices can be detected and configured using the AIX default PCMs. If your device is not detected, check with the device vendor to determine if a PCM is available for your device.

    To determine which devices are supported as MPIO other FC disks for example, run the following command:
    1. odmget -qattribute=mpio_model_map PdAt | grep deflt | cut -d'"' -f2

    Output from above can vary of the AIX level you run.
