Re: device files
If however, you have an image that has only older patch sets, (specifically ACE) you may not have support for your newer hardware.
good luck

Re: device files
I've been using up my precious holiday before the end of the year or I lose it! In the end we got round the problem by going to single user, replacing the disk & restoring.
Thanks again.
Cheers.

SolutionHowever, systems will often grow after initial installation and the device files are created using the next 'instance'. So initially, an I/O card at address 52 will have instance 0 while a new I/O card at address 16 will have instance 1. But reinstalling via Ignite will assign addresses in ascending order (the installer knows nothing of the original history of adding I/O cards). Now, address 16 has instance 0 and address 52 has instance 1.
Now this isn't too bad as instance numbers for disks are seldom important as LVM makes all this transparent. However, tape drives will be a problem. The good news is that insf has an option to create device files with a specific instance number (the -I option). Simply delete the device with rmsf (don't use rm), then add it back using -I.

Re: device files
The issues with the hardware model differences can be muted by verifying that the machine that provides the image has the latest ACE bundle on it -
insf -e will recreate all device files, but your mirror issue will be resolved by the ignite restore.
