HP-UX vPars and Integrity VM V6.3 Administrator Guide
13.19.3 Inspecting and editing the repair script
The hpvmdevmgmt -r report and repair-script function might identify one or more new pathnames
for disks whose old pathnames no longer exist. The repair-script performs that reassignment using
the hpvmdevmgmt -n command.
In general, you must inspect and edit the script before running it for the following reasons:
• All replace commands, hpvmdevmgmt —n, in the script are commented out. You must delete
only the comment characters before only one of the hpvmdevmgmt —n commands for a
particular device. Otherwise, subsequent hpvmdevmgmt -n commands for the same device
fails.
• If a legacy device name is replaced with another legacy device name, both, the legacy device
name and the agile device name are added. However, if the agile device name is used to
replace a legacy device name, only the agile device name is used.
