Thanks to Dr. Thomas Blinn, Alan, and Timothy Brown.
Part of Alan's response follows (original message posted below):
In the typical configuration, the physical location of device doesn't affect
the name. Each device is expected to provide the host a unique ID of some
sort (serial number for parallel SCSI and WWID for Fibre Channel) and that
is used to make the association with name. In previous versions, the
association was made to bus, target and LUN, but that changed in V5.
Basically, I don't have to worry which slot the KZPBA is in. The device
mnemonics will remain the same.

All:
I am getting ready to install a CCMAB memory channel card in an ES40 running
Tru64 Unix V5.1 According to the manual, the CCMAB adapter must be in the
lowest available slot the console sees. However, I currently have a KZPBA
adapter in that slot. If I move the KZPBA adapter to another slot, will
that change my disk names at the software level (ie the dsk3, dsk4, etc)?
Or does it really matter where I put the CCMAB adapter?
Thanks,
