I'm glad you found it so straightforward; that's what we
were aiming for.  I hope everyone else does as well.

I just wanted to modify your final (parenthetical)
statement.  You *can* configure the LDEV with SYSGEN, but
this requires you to reboot the box -- no change there.
However, you can use the IOCONFIG utility (also new with
5.5) to configure your device with the system up and
running.  It then takes effect immediately (no reboot
required).  The new configuration is written through to
the system configuration files, so it will continue to be
effective following a reboot.
