Latest linux version from SuSE & RedHat both support multipath-tools (as does Ubuntu, Debian, ...). Multipath-tools is the name of the package, it's not a proprietary program, but a free OSS implementation (that works pretty good imho) based on device mapper (so it only works on recent 2.6 kernels).

HP has a good doc on that here: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00814876/c00814876.pdf?HPBCMETA::doctype=file
