Actual vendor solutions not only have "descriptive" software but also
code that has to added and taken care of.

If DM-MM /DM-MPIO is a framework that can be used to unify, would it
not be nice to unify also in AIX? Now for IBM storage products on AIX
there is RDAC and SDD. On Linux I would expect the DS4000 to follow
the approach taken by SDD team but I could not find any information
about this.
