Re: Erasing DASD-decommission an AS400/iSeries/System i

Interesting idea Larry.

Some thoughts/questions:

This probably has been asked before, but assuming someone ignores the
ASP threshold messages, at what percentage does i5/OS shutdown ?
or will it go to all the way to 100% and seize up ?

Restricted state sounds like a good idea, but does it get you closer to
100% ?   While more work, wouldn't moving as many DASD units as possible
(non-OS)to another (and empty) ASP be the only way to completely wipe
these units ?
