Dear Sun Managers,

I need some help on this.

I've machine A which already in production and have
the following major number.

$ grep vx name_to_major
vxdmp 222
vxio 223
vxspec 224
vxportal 225

I need to configure machine B in Cluster environment
and I need vxio, vxspec to be the same major number as
machine A. In machine B,

# grep vx name_to_major
vxdmp 260
vxio 261
vxspec 262
vxportal 263

There is no problem for me to change the major number
to be the same as machine A if the number is not in
used in machine B. **BUT** if I do a grep, the major
number 223 and 224, are used for ifp and llc2.

# grep 22 name_to_major
ge 222
ifp 223
llc2 224

What should I do and how can I ensure the major number
for vxio and vxspec for both the machines are the same
without touching machine A? Can I change major number
in machine B for vxio and vxspec to be the same as
machine A, what could be the impact of changing the
ifp and llc2 to be different number (change it to 261
and 262)??

If not, what would be the solution?

Thanks in advance for your enlightenment.

Regards,
Tim
