I have four p-series server let's name them s1,s2,s3,s4 out of s1 and s3 shares the fastt500 storage through a san card.i have upgraded s3 server from aix 4.3.3 to aix 5.1(i used preservation install) but when i rebooted server after completion of installation the server has stopped showing the FASTt500 harddisks because during preservation install it overwrites the usr filesystem.i have reinstalled the san card driver on aix then it start showing harddisk of fastt500 but the problem is it pickups hdisk6 and hdisk7 from fastt500 but previously(before upgradation)it was hdisk2 and hdisk3 then i have to do lot of exercise to bring my volumegroup back using command exportvg,redfinevg -d vgname,importvg etc.then the vg is imported on hdisk7.but the actual problem comes when i rebooted s1 server the server is showing fastt500 disks but no vg mounted on it then i have imported the vg of s1 server on s3 server and on s3 server i can see the logical volume information of volume group of s1 server then i have exported the vg and on s1 server i have removed all the harddisk of fastt500(rmdev -dl <hdisk-name>) .then i run the command cfgmgr -i /dev/cd0 by inserting 1st installation cd of aix 4.3.3 and now it starts showing the harddisk with identifier name.then i imported the vg and i can see the logical volumes in volume groups but my problem is when i reboot the s1 server i have to do the same exercise again because the s1 server not automatically mounts the lv and vg on fastt500.while on s3 server(on which i have upgraded to aix 5.1) i don't have any problem s3 server is workin perfectly normal.On FASTt500 we have 16 disks two are hot swapable and out of 14 two arrays are defined assigned to s1 and s3 server.is there any solution to resolve the compatibility between 5.1 and 4.3.3??pls help!!thanx in advance!!
