I have a backup of one server (5.1a) that I want to restore to a
different h/w platform. I booted the O/S cd, mounted the root, usr,var
filesets and restored. Figuring the device db (and kernel config) would
be all out of whack I then booted the restored o/s disk into single user
using the generic kernel and did this to recreate the device db:
# mount -u /
# /sbin/dn_setup -init
# dsfmgr -K
But my devices are still all screwed up (negative deivce IDs):
# hwmgr v d
HWID: Device Name Mfg Model Location

-18: (unknown) QUANTUM DLT8000 bus-2-targ-5-lun-0
-16: (unknown) COMPAQ BD009222C7 bus-2-targ-1-lun-0
-14: (unknown) COMPAQ BD009222C7 bus-2-targ-0-lun-0
-12: (unknown) COMPAQ CDR-8435 bus-1-targ-0-lun-0
I cannot manually delete the devices as they have a negative id value so
the hwmgr del comp command fails.
Is there something else I need to do?
