Pete is right on but i do question 'new 170' as they haven't made those things in this century! :-)
The 2726 card will work just fine for those drives and you will be able to start RAID even if there is already data on the disks, so long as they are not more than 75% full in total.

Well V4R4 is a while back, so I don't know if things changed that much, but
you want to do a Manual IPL, and go into DST. Then WORK with Disk Units,
and then Work with Disk Configuration, and you should see an option to start
or configure a RAID set. You might see it as Start Device Parity Protection
and not as RAID.

Subject: Raid-5

Have a new 170 box with a 2726 raid card and 4 8GB disk units. Can someone
point me in the right direction regarding configuring/starting raid-5
protection. I've found some info on mirroring, but not any on raid. Is there
a manual or Redbook I can read? The system is V4R4.

Thanks

Brian
