Thanks Mike for your quick response. Yes, the systems are T2000s. I checked the "/etc/vx/bin/vxroot" script, and it already has the quotes around the "$bus_drivers".
Sample Output: vxroot:bus_drivers=`modinfo | grep "PCI Bus nexus driver" \ vxroot: if [ $? -eq 0 -a -n "$bus_drivers" ] ; vxroot: for i in $bus_drivers vxroot: if [ "$drv" = "pci" -a "$flag" = "no" -a -n "$bus_drivers" ] vxroot: for i in $bus_drivers What else do I need to look out for?
