I finished my restore storage, and I got RAID-5 back automagically.

The 2 CE's and a Ex CE here were curious to see if this would work. And it did not. So we took AL's advice and stopped RAID-5. We then started the Restore, and when this finished it came back to DST and RAID-5 was not going. So as the book says we did a IPL to manual mode, and never came back up because one of the new drives failed during the IPL. Should RAID have been restarted automatically by the restore storage? Chris >>> barsa@barsaconsulting.com 07/30/02 02:32PM >>> Restoring storage is tricky. (I have one going on in the next room now.) The error screens are confusing, at best. You definitely should NOT add the DASD or start RAID-5. The restore storage processing will bring this back.

We are now Tring to do a restore storage, and it is not letting up because it says current configuration does not match what is on the tape. We called IBM before we started, and they said it was possible to do a restore storage, as long as there were the same number of drives and they were the same size or larger. Has anyone else done this, or have any Ideas? Should we not have started parity before we attempt the restore?
