Re: Disk Failure

["Dare" <oludare@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have IBM maintenance and the CE is on the way to replace the faulty disk.
Are you saying I'm going to have "DOWN TIME"? :( Carl, can you confirm that?
Is there a way to find out the exact problem with the disk because WRKHDWRSC
is reporting all my *STG devices to be operational.

Thanks Andy and rest.
