RE: Clarification on DISK CONFIGURATION

You need more capacity.  The 510 cannot RAID the load source therefore you
must mirror to stay protected.  Every other drive is RAID'd.  I would look
at replacing the 6606 and 6607 drives with 6713's  This will keep your arm
count the same and increase your capacity.  You should be able to find used
6713's drives.  Ask your business partner for them.  BCC also can also help
you find these or their equivalent drives.  Your 9337 are also old
technology and probably very expensive to keep on maintenance.  Hopefully by
the end of the year I will upgrade my 720 to 820 and replace the SPD tower
brought forward from our 510.  When I do, I will have several SPD cards and
6607 drives for sale.  I can sell the 16 6607 drive, Drive expansion box,
and SPD controller card at that time.  This may be several months down the
road though.

Hi guys,

I'm on OS400 V4R5M0, AS/400 9406-510 2144, with current CUM.

Need some clarification, education AND/OR suggestion(s) on my system disk
configuration.

I have 2 ASP (ASP 1 is Mirrored and Raided) with a total of 173.1 Gig and
90% threshold.
My system ASP is 57.19Gig with 87.4692% USED.  I think the only unit
MIRRORED in this ASP is UNIT 1.
ASP 2 is 115.92Gig with 82.49% USED. I think this ASP is totally RAIDED.
The protection column for both ASPs shows all "DEVICE PARITY" except for
Unit 1 in ASP1 that shows "CONTROLLER".
