The Solaris SAN Configuration and Multipathing Guide proved very helpful for me:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-1931/
I, too was surprised to see MPIO enabled by default on x86 (we're using Dell/EMC
CX3-40 with our X4500 & X6250 systems).

Originally you wanted to get it multipathed
On x64 Solaris 10, the default setting of mpxio was :
mpxio-disable="no";
I changed it to
mpxio-disable="yes";
and rebooted the machine and it detected 24 drives.
Thanks,
Krutibas
