====== Upgrade SDDPCM after AIX upgrade, when using SAN boot ======

After migrating my AIX server from AIX 7.1 to 7.2, I forget to migrate first the SDDPCM drivers that are related to AIX version !

===== Umount and varyoff all devices except rootvg =====

<cli prompt='#'>
[root@nim01]/root# umount -a
[root@nim01]/root# varyoffvg nimvg
[root@nim01]/root# lspv
hdisk0          000a364a03bb5167                    rootvg          active      
hdisk1          000a364a0565872b                    nimvg           
</cli>  

===== Change ODM definition for all SAN disks =====

<cli prompt='#'>

        status = 1
        chgstatus = 2
        ddins = "scsidisk"
        location = "C6-T1-01"
        parent = "fscsi1"

Delete 2145 disks and add mpioosdisk instead:
<cli prompt='#'>
[root@nim01]/root# odmdelete -q "PdDvLn like disk/fcp/2145*" -o CuDv
0518-307 odmdelete: 2 objects deleted.
[root@nim01]/root# odmadd mpioosdisk_cudv.out
[root@nim01]/root# lsdev -Cc disk
