Changing hdisk device names is tedious. I'd reconfigure disk heartbeat devices.

If you want to change hdisk names you need to rmdev -dl them. You could use dummy disks to keep cfgmgr from taking certain hdisk names (hdisk12) and then delete the dummy and the former hdisk12 to make it become hdisk12 after another rmdev command. If you delete all of the hdisk devices cfgmgr should be forced to detect devices in a serial way but not in parallel (-S option) but even then the row in which the disks are being detected might be different if signal runtime is influenced by your FC network (especially if your storage is located in different data centers).

Either way you can damage your cluster.... which HACMP version do you use?

NAME
vximportdg - import a disk group into the Veritas Volume Manager configuration SYNOPSIS
vximportdg daname new_dgname DESCRIPTION
The vximportdg utility performs a temporary import of the disk group contained on the disk device specified by daname to the disk group specified by new_dgname. As the persistent disk group information is not changed within the private partition of the affected disk, the import is only valid for the duration of the bootload or until a vxdg deport is performed. ARGUMENTS
daname Specifies the device name (disk access name) of one of the member disks of the disk group to be imported. The other members are imported automatically. new_dgname Specifies the disk group to be imported. USAGE
One reason to use the vximportdg utility is to import a second generation of the rootdg disk group so that its objects are available for use while a system is running on a different rootdg. To prevent volumes on the second generation rootdg from having the same device minor numbers as volumes (such as rootvol) on the active rootdg, the importation assigns temporary non-conflicting device minor numbers. If this occurs, vximportdg outputs warning messages detailing the mapping of the minor numbers. SEE ALSO
