Operating Systems AIX Lost Ethernet

hmmm....

The P5 generation is about 10 years old but these systems were already virtualised. Are you sure you are not describing the service processor connectors? These are ethernet too, but you cannot use them as network interfaces. Service processors are what is called an "ILO-board" in PC technique and you connect these lines to a HMC via a non-routed network.

Which sort of P5 is it, actually? What is the model number?

I hope this helps.

Name
       ethers - database that maps Ethernet addresses to hostnames

Description
       The  file  is used in conjunction with the reverse address resolution protocol daemon, to map Ethernet addresses to hostnames.  It contains
       information about the known (48-bit) Ethernet addresses of hosts on the Internet.

       For each host on an Ethernet, a single line should be present in the file with the following information:

       Ethernet-address        official-host-name

       Items are separated by one or more spaces or tabs.  A number sign (#) indicates the beginning of a comment that extends to the end of line.

       The standard form for Ethernet addresses is:

       x:x:x:x:x:x

       The x is a hexadecimal number between 0 and ff, representing 1 byte.  The address bytes are always in network order.

       Hostnames can contain any printable character other than a space, tab, newline, or number sign (#).

       Hostnames in the file should correspond to the hostnames in the file or to those provided by the name service.

Examples
       The following is a sample file: 08:00:20:01:e5:1c       host1	    # Comments go here 08:00:20:01:d0:4c       host2	    # Comments	go
       here 08:00:20:01:e0:1d	    host3	 # Comments go here 08:00:20:00:c2:4e	    host4	 # Comments go here
