Hi Sys-Gurus,

I have a problem with an replaced disk under UNIX V.5.1.
I had to replace dsk2 with a replacement in the same physical
slot.(Both ,the original - and the replacement disk support WWID).

After installing the new drive the new disk showed up under another
HWID and device-file. The old disk entry was still there, but with
an invalid PATH.

I think my mistakes begun when I deleted the old (original) disk-entry.
With respect to the HWID, the remaining disks were not in order
anymore. This was not a real problem, as all the other disks were
new and have never been used.So, to restored the HWID-Order, I swapped
the disk-entries (dsfmgr -e) until the order was restored.

The only problem now is the newly installed disk. It shows up as
dsk7 , but it is supposed to be dsk2.
 
The special file for dsk2 is not there anymore (dsfmgr -s).

Is there a way to modify the dsk7 to dsk2 ?

Any help is welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Regards ,
Gottfried
