(Alpha and Integrity servers) MPDEV_REMOTE enables MSCP served
    paths to become members of a multipath set when set to ON (1).
    When set to OFF (0),  only local paths to a SCSI or Fibre Channel
    device is used in the formation of additional multipath sets.
    However, setting this parameter to OFF does not have any effect
    on existing multipath sets that have remote paths.

    To use multipath failover to a served path, MPDEV_REMOTE must
    be enabled on all systems that have direct access to shared
    SCSI/Fibre Channel devices. The first release to provide this
    feature is OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-1. Therefore, all nodes
    on which MPDEV_REMOTE is enabled must be running OpenVMS Alpha
    Version 7.3-1 (or later).

    If MPDEV_ENABLE is set to OFF (0), the setting of MPDEV_REMOTE
    has no effect because the addition of all new paths to multipath
    sets is disabled. The default is ON.
