RE: Replacing load source disk

I think you will have to do a load source pump/migration of some kind -
check the LPAR books, they have a little more detail about load source
migration.  My bet would be you'd probably remove one of your other units,
add a non-configured, do a pump, replace the load source with the pumped
drive, then add another non-configured and add to ASP as normal.

If you've got mirroring available to you, just not turned on, you might be
able to create a mirrored load source, break the mirror, and do it that way
too.  Just some thoughts off the top of my head.

Subject: Replacing load source disk


I want to remove the 6607 (4GB) drives with 6713 (8GB).  It's a small model
170 with a max of 4 drives.  I have already done this with the three non
load source disks (I'm not running mirroring nor RAID).  Now I want to
upgrade the load source disk.  Right now, everything's working, so it's not
a replacement of failed hardware situation.

How do I do this?

Do I 'remove' unit 4, thus clearing it, and then 'replace' unit 1 with the
now non-configured unit 4?  Do I then have to insert unit 4 into the load
source disk slot (thus making it drive 1 (or drive 0))?

The books in publib don't discuss this in detail, only non-load-source
disks.

Thanks.
