Starting device parity protection on a 9406-170

["William Corbett" <corbett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, I give up, what is the "Limited Paging Environment".  Does this mean "in
a restricted state"???

This controller, it seems, won't support Raid-5.  I've got enough extra disk
space, for now, to run mirroring.  So, I'm going to use mirroring until I
need the disk, or until I get a controller which will support Raid-5.

All my disk is configured and working properly.  I did a Save-21 in
preparation for this.  I assume I can start parity using SST, work with disk
units, option 9. Start device parity protection
But the system is complaining.

I assume this is the problem:

If starting device parity protection beyond the
limited paging environment, all units in the
array must be non-configured.  Otherwise device parity
protection must be started in the limited paging
environment.

Help, anyone?
