    I installed the 5.2 SDD this morning. I'll see what happens when I bounce
    the server.

    I've done this several times with AIX and windows. Without the SDD on
    there
    you see the disk through each path the ESS uses ( in my case 4 sets of
    disks). As soon as you put the SDD on it all looks normal again. You can
    check the paths through smitty - devices - MPIO management. If you need
    the
    SDD software I have versions for 4.3.3 to 5.2.

    When I run cfgmgr, they come in multiple times. This is the result of a
    single 'cfgmgr'.

    My first thought would be a need to do an odm cleanup. I have to cleanup my
    odm occasionally as I use hdiskpowers(EMC) drives.

    These are in fact all the same physical drives. But they're repeated.
