RE: Disk missing from configuration

Leif - 

Power down the system
Set control panel to manual (2BM)
IPL to DST (if you can)
        1. Work with disk configuration to see if you can see the drives
        2. Check the failing hardware and see if one drive is called out. 

If you can not IPL to DST from disk you might want to IPL from CD-ROM (2DM)
Again you can get into DST and check your disk configuration and failing
devices. 

Since you are not running raid or mirroring one failed drive will cause you
to reload (assuming all drives in one ASP)
