Hi managers

I have a strange situation E5500, Solaris 2.6, Volume Manager

A few days ago VxVM detected a problem with all the disks attached to c3
and automatically recovered all volumes (fortunately they were RAID1).
That worked fine.

Today, format only reported me 25% of the total disks (only the ones in
c5), luxadm probe only reported one half of my two 5200 (there are in
split loop ) arrays! and volume manager is still working.

before c0 , c2 , c3 , c5

We decided to execute drvconfig and the 100% of the disks now appear in
format, and luxadm probe detects the two 5200s. The strange thing is
that the disks changed of logical controllers! eg. instead of 11 disks
under c3 now I see 11 disks under c6!
If I execute vxprint -ht, volume manager reports that the disks are
attached to the old controller (c3), everything is working fine
but my questions are:

now c2 c5 c6 c7

Why this happened?
If I reboot the system, would there be any problem, or the vxconfigd
will begin to corrupt data ?
How can I "synchronize" the information of format with the one of volume
manager?

We are using VxVM 3.0.4 and Solaris 2.6 105181-26

TIA, i will Summarize !
