    Hello,

    I have an lpar that is attached to the san. For reasons that I could not
    control we have all the volume groups coming from the SAN. So, rootvg is
    also on the san. One problem I keep having is when I try to load updates
    the updates fail with
     " 0503-409 bosboot verification starting...
    " 0503-497 An error occurred during bosboot verification processing.

    I think I know why as powerpath renames "hdisk0" to hdiskpower0. When I
    try to run bosboot -a it fails at if can't find /dev/hdisk0 hd5.

    I thought you could run "powermt" with a switch to get the system to
    recognize hdiskpower0 as the boot device.

    Anyone heard of this?

    Thanks
    John
