Gee, thanks, Bryan. Not that I'm not paranoid and overall neurotic enough!

Anyway, right in the middle of typing this the CE arrived and -yes- it did go as advertised. Woohoo!

Jerry,
When the load source drive on our RAID 5 protected 520 failed just a few weeks ago, I voiced the same concerns to our CE as you have but they weren't warranted. It is hot swappable and your system won't miss a beat. It's just like replacing any other drive. Now, if you have another drive go bad before unit 1 is replaced, you'd have some serious issues.

Subject: Disk Failure


Unit 1 in our four disk set (Raid5) failed. The IBM CE called and is bringing a replacement, but I've got a question or two before he arrives.

First, isn't unit 1 where the load source lives?

Second, are there any special steps in the recovery because of that?

Third, he said it was hot swappable. (I'm still going to kick everyone off of the system, though.) Is it really that easy?

Thanks.
