Hello,
I had to reinstall SP node from its "mksysb" image due to total crash of
system. The node is a rotating cluster node with shared disks (and of course
VGs, LVs, FSs). The reinstallation was successful - system i up and running
with the previous configuration. Unfortunatelly I connot "importvg" of one
shared VG because after reinstallation the major number used before by this
VG is now used by following devices:

/dev/bpf0
/dev/bpf1
/dev/bpf2
/dev/bpf3

I cannot import the VG with the other Major Number due to a lot of clients
have nfs mounts to the cluster. The running cluster node (which was not
crasched) has the proper Major Number. I have no clue how to change the
Major number of bpf* devices to be able use proper Major Number for the
shared VG.

After a lot of tests (on test environment) I found that /dev/bpf* files are
created everytime "tcpdump" is run (when I remove them, files are created
everytime after reboot). When I moved "tcpdump" binary to different location
and reboot the machine files were not created (the Major Number was not
used) but I still cannot import the VG with this Major Number.

I found the device (bpf) in CuDvDr and exactly it had the Major Number I
need for the VGs. After changing the major number of "bpf" device in ODM
(with odmchange command) I still cannot import VG with ("released???") Major
Number.

Where should I look for the Major Number yet in ODM?

If anybody met the same problem (or know a solution) please let me know.

thank you very,very much in advance,
Steven
