The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Exactly. So you will update the profile to tag one of the two new SAS
cards that support the drawer with the new LS.
After the copy the old LS becomes 'Non-Configured' so be aware of that
that you don't add it back in by accident when adding the new disks. :-)
As to finding it SAS is much better than SCSI. SCSI had two or three max
LS candidate slots. SAS it can be anywhere and as you suggest, it just
finds it.
We systems guys though don't like the LS drive to not be in Slot 1 or
ate least VERY close by! :-)
To find the drive with the lowest SAS address use hardware service
manager Packaging resource (1-7-1 from the main SST menu) Identify the
correct DASD Drawer and put a 9 on that. Find the disk unit in location
P1-D1, normally the first one. Put a 5 on that and gather it's serial
number (Used for verification!) Then back up one screen and replace the
5 with an 8. (Logical resources) It will have TWO, one for each SAS
path, like DMP120 and DMP121. Note those names, you will pick one of
those two for the Load Source in the copy step. It doesn't matter which
and you will not see both of them.

Like in the HMC I would change the profile to use card C1 of my new
expansion unit, right?
Does it then just discover which drive is a load source?
On our existing setup:
HMC:
U78C9.001.WZS00UA-P1-C8 SAS RAID Controller, PCIe3 x8, 12 GB Cache,
Quad-port 6Gb
SST:
Packaging Hardware Resources
Type- Resource
Description Model Name Location
Disk Expansion Unit 5887-001 FR02
Backplane 50B0 P62 P1
Device Services 50B1-001 P60 P1-C1
Device Services 50B1-001 P59 P1-C2
Disk Unit 59C2-109 P55 P1-D1

Disk Unit 59C2-109 P26 P1-D5
Disk Unit 59C2-109 P75 P1-D6
...
IDK how to determine this:

The Load Source typically is the drive with the LOWEST SAS address.
