Piece of cake.

1.      Backup your system.  Go SAVE - Option 21
2.      Physically Add DASD
3.      Manual IPL to DST
4.      Add DASD to ASP and Start Raid 5 protection - All in 1 IPL
5.      Fairly LONG IPL

Assuming that you are adding just enough DASD to cover the RAID-5 penalty,
you will get a very acceptable scatter load.  As you add more, the scatter
load will be worse.

BTW, V4R4 was pre-announced (This means it's OK to talk about.) this
morning by IBM.  There are new disk scatter functions provided!
