Not sure what do you expect from "official AIX MPIO support"...
If you're not a developer who needs to discuss with AIX development on code basis, then first thing would be to go through normal IBM support structure opening a ticket with IBM (per contract basis or per billable hours basis). However maybe you can get a good answer by free also from the Forum folks :-)

Information might be of some use to you.

I wanted know the features, limitation of MPIO. Commands that could be used to get SAN realted information. Logging information when some SAN related event happens. So i wanted to know if there is any link from where i could get some offical answers from IBM. Ofcourse this forum is helping me by a great deal to get those information.

The fcstat command provides information for the FC adapters (e.g. connection status, speed, etc). SAN related events are logged in the AIX errorlog (errpt).

Thanks ostost. Is there any command that monitors the error log and any update in the log is displayed in the console?

You could do something like this using the AIX error log notification facility. Here is a link to an article which shows an example.

You might also want to look at the errpt -c option which displays errorlog messages as soon as they appear.
