    Tru64 5.1A - DS20e 2 node cluster.

    Our hardware supplier upgraded the firmware on our HSG80s last week.
    We did this without shutting down to be clever.

    I have tried to reboot one server and it is refusing to come up
    with the following error.

    # exit

    Enter run level (0-9, s or S): 3

    INIT: New run level: 3
    Checking device naming:

    Local Status: ldev or cdev is zero:
           ldev cdev hw_id bn_id dn_id typ old_name new_name
    C: 0 130084d 269 147 16 c "" ~
    ...... loads of similar snipped
    C: 0 1300860 269 147 15 c "" ~
    Errors: Cluster 0 Local 20 Cluster/Local 0 Total: 20
    bcheckrc: Device Naming failed initial check.
        Correct errors and then continue or reboot.

    INIT: SINGLE-USER MODE

    Doing a show this and show connect on the controllers does not
    show anything untoward. Any suggestions?
