I do not know which is best. If you do it the normal way and pick the
hdiskpower devices I think you will be ok. I always make them with smit's
using powerpath devices.

I have a question for those running IBM with EMC disk.  We installed
powerpath on the server and went to create VG's.  In smit I see I can create
them the way I normally do or I can create a powerpath VG.
Which is the best way to setup the server?  I have a CX500 2 HBA's going to
an EMC fibre switch with two HBA's from the host, the system see four
devices per lun, 2 on FCS0 and 2 on FCS1.
Thanks for your input.
Vince
