How to fix /etc/dsfl.dat corrupted?

Hi,

I'm trying to add a new disk to my Alphaserver ES40 running Tru64 Unix
v5.1A. After running "hwmgr -scan scsi", the system cannot create the device
file. When I run "dsfmgr -v", the system complains that it can't open the
/etc/dsf1.dat although the file is present.

When I run "strings /etc/dsf1.dat", the output will show something like a
device listings, however, in between there would be some ingres monitor
output. Does this looks like my dsfl.dat is corrupted? if yes, what's the
proper way to fix the problem? Can copy the file from the installation
cd-rom and then run dsfmgr -F to recover? or is it more complicated than
that?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Regards,

Carlos
