RE: Converting Mirroring to Raid

I like the SAVE SAVE SAVE...

#1 Why clear user data? When you turn off mirroring, half your drives will be 
NON-Configured, if I remember correctly?

Mirroring OFF
IPL thru Storage Management
Start RAID on ALL DRIVES
ADD NON-Config's to ASP
IPL
START STRASPBAL (need PTF for 4.2?)(someone help me here)
Go Home

I've talked about this before on this list, but I thought someone might be able 
to tell me looks good, or you've forgotten this
important step.

Here's the plan for a 620 running V4R2:

Save, Save, Save, including system save

Clear user data to decrease disk usage.  Not clearing operating system, etc. so 
we don't have to restore all of that.

Manual ipl, use DST to turn off mirroring, this will IPL when done.

DST comes back up, turn on RAID.  Wait for system to setup the drives, etc.  
Bonus!  Percentage displays while running.

IPL

Once system back up, start restore and head home, watch restores from home.

Sound OK?
