What is up with the "load source" disk anyway? With RAID 5 and other disk striping technologies, how is one disk more significant? I asked this to a pretty good SE once and they could not explain it. So if the load source disk in a RAID array were to fail, would the machine not IPL? (This is just a question, not an attack or gripe of any kind!)

The LIC has to come from somewhere, and it has to be up before striped drives are readable.
