[HPADM] Easing Impact of SAN Changes to HW/Device Paths

From: Dave T. (davidlt77@hotmail.com)

Environment:

HP-UX 11i servers
Brocade SAN switches
VA7410 disk arrays
SureStore tape libraries

When changes are made to the ports on the SAN switches that route to the
disk or tape devices, it changes the hardware and device paths to them in
the OS. Whenever this happens, it has been a laborious process to recover
everything. Has anyone found an easy way to handle this? Does anyone have
scripts that ease the pain when the paths change?
