Manually Performing hdisk Reconfiguration
The procedure below explains how to manually reconfigure an hdisk.
Note:
In the procedure below, if you execute the dlmchpdattr utility without
performing either step 2 or 6, any changed values will not be applied, even
though the lsattr command execution results will show that the changed
values were applied. To apply the changed values, perform step 2, and then
perform step 10 for a local boot disk environment, or perform step 12 for a
boot disk environment.
