Re: Rename Interface
It doesn't really matter what the names are.

Re: Rename Interface
This would require you to renumber your hardware instances.
Its difficult and not without risk.
Here is how:

This is not something I'd do for fun. I had to do it once to force a tape drive to /dev/rmt0 and it was no fun at all.

Re: Rename Interface
It's for documentation purpose. we want to have uniform across all the servers.
It's not a must, but if you have any way to do it then let me know
Steven,
The link you provided does not explain anything!

Re: Rename Interface
Check Knowledge Base
Doc ID UTRANKBRC00017098
Doc ID KBRC00013394
Both relate to changing the instance numbers.
As stated, this is unsupported! There are risks involved!
Weigh the risks vs the benefits.

Re: Rename Interface
I think I would leave it like that since there are risks as mentioned by others here.

Re: Rename Interface
The tool name is 'ioconfig_dump'.
I highly suggest to get these documents somehow and review them.
Again, this is an unsupported utility. HP will say "Good Luck"

Solutionioscan -f | grep -e "DEVICE" -e "INTERFACE" | grep -v "target" | awk '{printf("%-20.20s %-12.12s %3d\n",$3,$1,($2 + 0))}' > devlist # all of this is one line
This creates a file listing HW Path, Class, and Instance Numbers for the devices. It's the Instance Numbers that you want to change.
II. Vi devlist and assign instance numbers 0, 1,2, ... to lan0, lan1, lan2, ... respectively. Leave the disk assignments as they are. Save the file.
III. Now blow away the ioconfig file and reboot:
cd /stand
mv ioconfig ioconfig.old
cd /etc
mv ioconfig ioconfig.old
shutdown -r 0
IV) The system bootup will stop at ioinitrc message:
/sbin/ioinit -c # this will recreate the missing ioconfig files
/sbin/ioinit -f /devlist -r # this will read in your edited file and reboot. You may see error messages like "Input is identical". Pay no attention.
After the box has rebooted, do a lanscan and make sure your assignments are as you expected.
