Sorry, I should have read the manpage for hwmgr more closely.
To answer my own question, the correct sequence is to first remove the existing database entry, then add a new one specifying the physical slot location (i.e. the cabinet cabling order):
hwmgr -remove name -entry ee0
hwmgr -remove name -entry ee1
hwmgr -remove name -entry ee2
hwmgr -remove name -entry ee3
hwmgr -add name -component_name ee -component_num 0 -component_type CONTROLLER -parent_name pci -parent_num 2 -slot 4
hwmgr -add name -component_name ee -component_num 1 -component_type CONTROLLER -parent_name pci -parent_num 2 -slot 5
hwmgr -add name -component_name ee -component_num 2 -component_type CONTROLLER -parent_name pci -parent_num 1 -slot 8
hwmgr -add name -component_name ee -component_num 3 -component_type CONTROLLER -parent_name pci -parent_num 0 -slot 9
The end result is:
HWID: NAME HOSTNAME PERSIST TYPE PERSIST AT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
59: ee3 csglf2 CONTROLLER pci0 slot 9
57: ee2 csglf2 CONTROLLER pci1 slot 8
56: ee1 csglf2 CONTROLLER pci2 slot 5
13: ee0 csglf2 CONTROLLER pci2 slot 4
Close enough.

Subject: Changing ethernet device ennumeration order
During a new Tru64 5.1b-1 install my DS20E Ethernet adapters ennumerated in this order:
HWID: NAME HOSTNAME PERSIST TYPE PERSIST AT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
59: ee3 csglf2 CONTROLLER pci0 slot 9
57: ee2 csglf2 CONTROLLER pci2 slot 5
56: ee1 csglf2 CONTROLLER pci2 slot 4
13: ee0 csglf2 CONTROLLER pci1 slot 8
How can I change the hwmgr database so that the correct cabling order is used:
HWID: NAME HOSTNAME PERSIST TYPE PERSIST AT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
59: ee3 csglf2 CONTROLLER pci0 slot 9
13: ee2 csglf2 CONTROLLER pci1 slot 8
57: ee1 csglf2 CONTROLLER pci2 slot 5
56: ee0 csglf2 CONTROLLER pci2 slot 4
For disks, the dsfmgr has a swap command, but it doesn't seem to work for ee: devices.
thanks.
