Well, DST is certainly the easier option. That must have been what I did
last time. I recall moving all the data off a raid set and then swapping
out those drives.
Thanks.

Roger,
I don't believe you can do what you want to do with a failed raid set. I'm
pretty sure you will need to fix the failed drive/set then you could remove
the drive. I know that is not what you want to do. The only thing I can
think of doing if you can't buy a drive ( Those drives should be dirt cheap
these days ), is to stop raid on another set, remove a drive from the ASP
and use it to replace the failed drive.
While replacing the failed drive and rebuilding raid can be done
concurrently, stopping raid5 requires a dedicated system.

the load source. I've done this long ago to swap out drives. Can'trecall
the steps though. I don't think I had to use DST but that's what I seeon
the IBM site.-
Any suggestions? I just need to limp along for about another month or so
just to support a couple of twinax devices - no users.the
