Easy as cake.

Its Hot swappable. He/she comes in, goes to SST, says he is doing
concurrent maintenance, and enters which drive, SST tells him remove the
drive, then insert new one, presses enter, and then goes back into work with
Disk units and rebuild the raid set.

It could take about 60 minutes to rebuild, and the system might be a
little slow during that time, but other then that you shouldn't miss a beat.

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.
