To the Group,

Thanks for the many responses. There were way too many to respond to
everyone, but the general responses were:

1) This was asked many times before, and that I could have found this
in the FAQ listing. Good point. I will admit, that at times, it is
much quicker to post a question then to perform a lookup. Point well
taken. I will try to go to the FAQ list in the future.

2) The problem was the result of changing the hostname while Volume
Manager wasn't installed, so the new /etc/vx/volboot file didn't match
the rootdg. This came from Roger Klorese. - Thanks


3)The files could be found by the following find command, which was
provided by Ray Trzaska:

$ find /etc \( -name nodename -o -name host\* \) -ls
1 -r--r--r-- 1 root sys 275 Aug 4 12:29 /etc/inet/hosts
1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 10 Dec 4 1995 /etc/net/ticlts/hosts
1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 10 Dec 4 1995 /etc/net/ticots/hosts
1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 10 Dec 4 1995 /etc/net/ticotsord/hosts
1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 12 Aug 1 1996 /etc/hosts -> ./inet/hosts
1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5 Dec 4 1995 /etc/nodename
1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5 Dec 4 1995 /etc/hostname.le0

Thanks for everyone's help on this.
