RE: Re[2]: DASD failure

[Neil Palmer <npalmer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Anything "unusual" at your site ?
Proper temperature & humidity control ?
UPS that filters out any voltage spikes ?

Maybe you should push IBM to investigate WHY you are having all these
disk failures.
Maybe you have a faulty power supply in the AS/400 (I'm assuming
internal disks here - or power supply problems in a 9337 ?).
Have they tested to see that the disks are actually bad and it's not
just faulty diagnostics or an intermittent controller problem ?
