Hi,
It's a long time since I worked on HPUX, but it was 10.20 - It is possible to change the host ID of the machine which is what I think is required here. And I do know that it can be done on the D 9000's, however from memory I think it has to be done at the ISL prompt.
It was a long time ago that I did this 1999 I think, but I do know that it can be done.
I would check out the Initial System Load commands and possibly the Guardian Service Processor Commands as I'm sure that this is where it is done from, I have only ever done this once and as I no longer work on HPUX kit I'm very rusty.
Regards
Dave

isalist(5).
ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
