I have a GXT135 on a p630 that was working fine as lai0. I had to
move it to another slot to add other adapters and, upon rebooting,
lai0 was Defined but lai1 was Available with a lower resolution. I
did an "rmdev -d -l lai0" and rebooted but that just left lai1. I've
corrected the resolution but is there any fairly easy way to get lai1
to be renumbered to lai0? I'm just looking for consistency with other
pSeries systems here. Thanks in advance.

I had a similar problem on a 44P. The easy way was to remove all entries
(set "remove from database" to "yes) with smit and after that do a
"configure new devices added after IPL"...

# rmdev -dl lai0 ; rmdev -dl lai1 ; cfgmgr

rmdev -dl lai1
cfgmgr

You'll then have a lai0

This is consistent, but it's AIX that stores the details.

But since lai1 is my active console, when I do "rmdev -dl lai1", I get
0514-062 "Cannot perform the requested function because the specified
device is busy."

I've done an init S to go into ASCII console single-user mode but
still have the same problem. How do I get past the "device busy"
message? TIA.

Hook up a tty, or a windoze machine using a null modem cable, on tty0
and reassign the console to tty0. reboot. Then deal with the graphics
device.

In other words, you're going to have to move the console. If you're
on the network, you don't necessarily need a physical device connected
to tty0, but it will take a reassignment and a reboot.
