I believe what I have to do is:
1) shut down all servers on the SAN, as the changes are going to be disruptive.
2) on each 3800 switch, run "switchdisable", "configure", change pidFormat to 1, then "switchenable".
3) restart everything.
which isn't so bad. I wanted to check here in case I am missing anything.
Thanks for any advice,
Graham

Re: Sanity check on SAN switch reconfig (pidformat)
Tru64 Unix uses 'persistent LUN binding' which is not affected by an FC address change.

Re: Sanity check on SAN switch reconfig (pidformat)
HP-UX for example forms a pretty complex hardware path:
