    If i execute the command mkdev -l aio0 and reboot, I have to go back and perform the command again because the aio0 becomes unavaiable. Is ther an option in the mkdev command thats makes it permanent?
    Thanks,

    You don't need to do this every time on reboot. Use "smitty aio" to change the "STATE to be configured at system restart" to "available" and you are all set.
