Hi All,

I remember my old senior mentor in AIX that cfgmgr should not be terminated on your console. Because if it's terminated in the middle, the odm might get corrupted.

Is that true for AIX 5.x?

I doubt that - cfgmgr works over all devices and if it gets interrupted it will have either only worked a part of them, or none at all - never checked that. Not sure how it is programmed, but an ODM corruption I really doubt that.

And if you are missing some new device because you pressed control-c or crashed the lpar/box, just run cfgmgr again when it's up again.

We don't take extra mksysb before running cfgmgr. You can run cfgmgr at any time afaik (but with phase 1 rules, see link above).
