Hi Glenn,
 
Your best bet is to check with IBM if your controller supports RAID else backup your system power it off and on in manual state and try to engage RAID protection assuming you have ample disk space available for the process .
 
The machine want let you engage RAID if the card does not support it but check with IBM first .

Hi all,
I need to set up Raid-5 on my 170.  I'm about to add a 7101 expansion unit
to expand past the 4x8G drives I currently have.

Can I set up Raid with my existing hardware, or do I need a "Raid
Controller"?  And if so, what do I look for to see if I've got it and/or
what do I ask for when ordering the hardware?

I thought all that was part of the system?

Thanks for the help.

Your  DASD is  likely  driven of the MFIOP  base
and  you will need a RAID 5 capable  274x Controllers
