About AIX persistent naming support

NetBackup requires that you enable persistent naming support for the AIX device files. Doing so ensures that the device targets and LUNs do not change after a system restart.

To enable persistent naming support, use the AIX SMIT utility or the chdev command to change the logical names of the devices. Change the logical names after the initial device configuration in AIX. For more information, see the IBM documentation.
