Unless I've seen a similar system without the devices, I'm hesitant to
remove anything already installed, simply because it may not be needed. It
could be that some routines in the follow-on hardware configuration
(isa/pci) make use of software in the original configuration (mca) ... a
poor design, but not unheard-of if 90% of the driver is the same.
I'd probably want to reinstall (or install elsewhere as a test) to see if
it's truly needed, first, prior to removal.

I'm updating the S80 to AIX 5.2.
I believe the S80 is a clone image of an old MCA high node.

No, but what is the scenario just out of curiosity?

Hi *,
Can anyone think of any reasons why I need "devices.mca.*" on a S80 PCI
system?
