Re: AS400 Storage Article

["Samantha L Smith" <ssmith79@xxxxxxx>]

Hi there,
We have a customer, relatively new to iseries, with a very critical eye,
who had 8/9 disks fail between Jan and August.
At this point the customer was ready to pack their bags, and to appease the
situation and as a gesture of good will, IBM came out and replaced
EVERYdisk, and then the system was reloaded.
 I'm not sure if this is applicable to your article, as we had a controlled
system reload, following disk replacement, there was not a failing disk at
the time.
Prior to the reload a full DR was invoked, to validated the backups.
There have not been any subsequent incidents.

Do you want me to phone you, or is this sufficient?

Sam
