Although the issue happen,it will NOT influence system.
Because all code relation to this issue will be gone after 
the IPMP Rearchitecture is complete.It might be best for
us just to leave it.
Work Around 
no
unplumb logical interface or FAILBACK=no
Kill in.mpathd and allow SMF to restart it.
Except for Sun Cluster, SMF does not manage in.mpathd yet.
