  What version of the ADSM server is running?

  I had this problem about a year ago when I upgraded to V 2 R 1 L 0.7 (I
may be wrong on the actual release) . The ADSM devices (7331) were lost (not
configured) after a reboot. The IBM support staff  instructed me to use a
bosboot command to correct the problem. Subsequent releases corrected the
problem. We are currently running V 2 R1 L0.13.
