RE: Disk Failure

Dare,

>From the looks of your disk configuration, you are on an older system
which will not allow you to replace the disk while the system is active.
Your system will remain active with mirroring and RAID.  You could just
wait until your CE arrives and let him deal with it.  The RAID set will
rebuild itself when the machine powers up after the new disk is
installed.

Because you are now unprotected and the loss of an additional drive in
the RAID set will require a full system reload, you might want to do a
full option 21 save if you have time before your customer engineer
arrives.  Otherwise, if you're on IBM maintenance, let them put it back
together for you.
