No need to reinstall. Always a need to keep backed up. Just reconfigure
path with sysgen (io,mdev X path=,HOLD,keep), then shutdown and move those
discs/disks around. If you decide to move Ldev1 remember to set the
primary boot path also. Something to think about... SCSI like any
parallel bus only allows one device to pass data at a time. The effects
may be insignificant depending on your configuration, but the typical
trend for performance's sake is to move devices away from the system
disc's channel, not toward it. The effects are usually of fine tuning,
not major changes in throughput. Don't forget to START NORECOVERY on
the way back up.
