Need to make disk device files match

mvizza · #1 (**permalink**) 06-01-2006

Hi,

I was wondering if there was a way to change the disk device files ex. /dev/dsk/cxtxd0 ?

What I have are two HPUX 11.0 servers using MC Service Guard 11.13. A consultant attached a SAN and both servers had created the same identical LUN device files. Now I could begin creating my volume group , lvol, etc. Well, somewhere down the road, before I could config my volume groups, messed up the fiber that was connected to the SAN on one of the servers. After they changed the fiber, I a reconnected, now the HA1 server has different device file numbers then the HA2 server.

Now I know I could just do a vgexport and vgimport and modify the map files etc. but I heard there was a way to change the device files so they would match on both servers. Anyone have any idea?

Thanks,
Mike
