Programmatic path switches

I'm writing a simple path balancing program for fibrechannel attached disks at the moment. It calls $SET_DEVICEW to perform the path switch.

The strange thing is that it runs just fine on development and two of the production clusters, but on one cluster, I get a %SYSTEM-F-SSFAIL exception.

If anyone has seen this, I'd be extremely interested in hearing from them. A call has been logged with HP, but they have nothing similar in the database. So yet again, I appear to have stumbled across a potential bug.

Further details as they come to hand.
