I don't think you can include larger capacity drives in the same mirrored set. I believe what you are saying is you want the mirrored protection to rebuild the drive for you which would only work if you put in one drive at a time and included it in the current raid set. I'm not sure if you could work some magic with the Expansion Box on a 170 or not (ie: a separate mirror for the larger drives) but it doesn't sound like that is an option for you anyway. -----Original Message----- From: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Douglas W. Palme Sent: Monday, August 22, 2005 1:01 PM To: Midrange Systems Technical Discussion Subject: RE: SYSTEM SPACE What I was asking Al was if it was possible to replace our dasd drives with larger ones without having to reload the os and data? We have four drives which are mirroed on a 170 at V5R3......I do not know if I can be more specific than that. Is there something else you are wanting to know?
