My current p5 boxes have IBM Feature code 5716
Newer p5+ boxes now ship with Feature code 1977

I plan on doing alt_disk_install to move rootvg from the p5 boxes to
the p5+ servers, and
need to know if the adapters will be a problem. Non rootvg volumes
migrated via replicated SAN software EMC Mirrorview.
I know the 5716 adapter is the Emulex LP10000 from lscfg -vpl fcs0
command:

PLATFORM SPECIFIC

Name: fibre-channel
Model: LP10000
Node: fibre-channel@1
Device Type: fcp
Physical Location: U787A.001.DPM0Y6V-P1-C1-T1

Can anyone with the 1977 adapter run the same command and post the
output?

Will physical location differences of HBA's cause alt_disk_install
issues, or will cfgmgr
resolve them? Other than faster CPU's and additonal memory, both the p5
and p5+ boxes are almost identical. Rootvg contains ONLY IBM info. San
vg's contain ONLY non IBM data.
Rootvg is on IBM internal drives, everything else external on SAN.

What other issues will "almost identical" cause for the rootvg
migration? Is alt_disk_install and/or cloning a valid strategy for this
task? TIA for your time and consideration.
