Ah, okay >>The only workaround I can think of is to setup an alternate path to the same backend device and use the alternate path when exporting it to the >>second guest; the LDom Manager is doing a simple string compare of the pathnames. Yea, that's the workaround I use now: Disable mpxio and use one path for Guest LDom 1 and the other path for the Guest LDom 2. This is only for testing VCS in Guest LDoms - so we can live with that restriction until the patch is out.
