Node not able to communicate on switch; change ARP value

DESC:

node in sp2, it will not talk over high performance switch
 
ACT:    The one node that could not communicate didn't have
        NOARP set, like the rest of them did. Use the ifconfig
        command in /usr/lpp/ssp/css in the following manner
        to change it:

                ./ifconfig csso -arp

        We checked the Switch_partition class of the SDR.
        It had arp set to no, which was fine. The ODM on
        the node had arp set to yes, however. Changed it in
        the following  manner:

odmget -q "name=css and attribute=arp_enabled" CuAt > /tmp/out.file
This file will look like this:
CuAt:
        name = "css"
        attribute = "arp_enabled"
        value = "yes"
        type = "R"
        generic = "DU"
        rep = "s"
        nls_index = 0

you will need to 'vi' the file and change it to look like this:
CuAt:
        name = "css"
        attribute = "arp_enabled"
        value = "no"                      \<--------Note this line
        type = "R"
        generic = "DU"
        rep = "s"
        nls_index = 0

After this run the following command to put the changed value
into the ODM:

odmchange -o CuAt -q "name=css and attribute=arp_enabled" /tmp/out.file

        This fixed the problem, and now when the nodes reboots,
        it will not set arp on the css0 adapter.
