Hello,

I have the following problem:
My HACMP is configured to use certain disk name (hdisk12) for heartbeat function, it uses name, not PVID for that. And now after some reconfihuration my heartbeat disk changed it's name - now it's hdisk11, and hdisk12 is taken by another disk.
I assume that switching disk names is mutch more easier task than changing HACMP config (I'm not very good in HACMP).
How to switch names of two certain disks ?

please help!

thank you in advance

Just spotted this with a quick google .. "chdev -P -l hdisk## (or
whatever the disk is) -a name=hdisk##"

It did not used to be supported and I have not tested it .. the -P is change the ODM only, so you may be able to drop that if the disk is not is use ..
