Re: Disk Failure

["Dare" <oludare@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Guys,

GREAT, never had a disk failure b4.  The only disk installation I did was
adding more storage to a Mirror-Raided system.  The base is Mirrored and
rest Raided, we add more disk to the base and the rest of the storage system
and we had to bring the system down a couple of times.  I always thought you
could only perform hot-swapable on a PCI base iSeries.  Is this possible on
all SPD base iSeries or only on a 510 box.  Way to go for the 510.
