I believe the reference is "Managing the AIX Operating System",
second edition (September 1988). Starting on page 4-39, it says,
"You can use the varyon command to configure an IBM 9332....The
only thing varyon ever changes on a module is the names or IODNs
of its minidisks." And then it goes on in more detail....

I'd like my $0xF4240 USENET BUCKS compressed and uucp'ed to the
address below, please. :-)
