     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.
