SG with pvlinks and autopatch

Hello Folks,

I have an SG cluster running on 2 nodes attached to an XP128. We are using LVM for cluster volumes. So alternate links are also in use. But, Since I have autopath already installed, I wish I could use it for some load balancing.
When I issue "autopath display all" I see that it had all the XP disks recorded (both paths), and that no load balancing is defined.
The point is that, unlike EVA securepath, I still see the 2 paths in the ioscan, and that is disturbing.
So, I'm wondering if there is any relation between the PV links I've already defined and AutoPath. and if I change the policy in autopath, have I to disable my PV links ?
an explanation of how autopath works is quite welcome here!

Thanks and BR,
Farid.
