Description
I've installed Solaris 10 U4 Bld 10 on a T2000 with two Sun/Emulex FC HBAs. Output of "uname -a" is:

	SunOS sheik 5.10 Generic_120011-11 sun4v sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-T200

The system is connected via FC to a StorageTek V2X array disk. After the initial OS install I can run format and examine any disk on the system. Once I enable mpxio via "stmsboot -e" and reboot, running format and selecting any disk on the system, including the boot disk, causes format to core dump with a segmentation fault. Note that normal disk I/O still works, it's just format that fails. If I disable mpxio via "stmsboot -d" and reboot, format runs without error. A workaround is to disable mpxio while setting up disks but this requires two reboots and a significant amount of time.

The contents of /kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf are:

	name="scsi_vhci" class="root";
	load-balance="round-robin";
	auto-failback="enable";
	device-type-scsi-options-list =
 	"STK     V2X ", "symmetric-option";
	symmetric-option = 0x1000000;

and the output of format when it fails is:

# format
