WARNING: stmsboot operates on each supported multipath-capable controller
         detected in a host. In your system, these controllers are

/pci@12,600000/SUNW,qlc@0/fp@0,0
/pci@0,600000/pci@0/pci@9/SUNW,qlc@0/fp@0,0
/pci@22,600000/SUNW,qlc@0/fp@0,0
/pci@50,600000/pci@0/pci@9/SUNW,qlc@0/fp@0,0
/pci@0,600000/pci@0/pci@8/pci@0/scsi@1
/pci@50,600000/pci@0/pci@8/pci@0/scsi@1

If you do NOT wish to operate on these controllers, please quit stmsboot
and re-invoke with -D { fp | mpt | mpt_sas | pmcs} to specify which controllers you wish
to modify your multipathing configuration for.

Do you wish to continue? [y/n] (default: y) y
WARNING: This operation will require a reboot.
