Changing logicals on VMS?

The system$dia0 isn't especially newer or better. It is the name of the
disk with the allocation class set to 0. Check your drive firmware to
make sure that the alloclass on that disk didn't get changed to 24 wen you
changed the node name.

There is also a MSCP_ALLOCLASS parameter in SYSGEN but that is less likely
to be the culprit.

The allocation class is a mechanism to prevent like-named devices (i.e.
machines on a CI or DSSI each with a DxAxxx device) from confusing one
another.
