Summary: How to retain the controller no. of A5200?

Hi Managers,

Thanks for all who replied. 

The controller number is kept in /etc/path_to_inst and will not change until 
the next "boot -r". Even if the controller number changed, VxVM is able 
to handle it. Darren Dunham gave me more details.

Now, I feel safe to remove c2.

Thanks,
Raymond
