Re: 'lspv' - disk order list

You can always modify the ODM, but this is only if your really concerned
about the order to make it look pretty. Changing the disks id's in the odm
is non harmful if it's done right. You can name them "harddisk#" if you
want. Just go to the device table in the AIX odm and swap the entries for:
"hdisk11" and "hdisk11". Or just "rmdev" as the gentlemen below suggested
before the next time you reboot. If you decide to modify the ODM please
back it up so you can return to this state if you type or something. Backup
everything in: "/etc/objrepos" that is where the database is.

hdisk11 itself...hmmm
