RE: Replacing load source disk -- MIDRANGE-L

What you will need to do is power down and place the target disk in the
system and use 'copy disk unit data' from dst. This will copy the data from
the LS to the target disk. When finished target disk will still show as
non-configured. Next step is to power down and remove the original LS. Do
not forget to remove original LS. Then place the target disk in the slot
where you just removed the old LS from. Then IPL and you should be ok.
Remember that this will only work when you go from a smaller to bigger
drive..
This can also be found in 'backup and recovery guide'.

I think you will have to do a load source pump/migration of some kind -
check the LPAR books, they have a little more detail about load source
migration.  My bet would be you'd probably remove one of your other units,
add a non-configured, do a pump, replace the load source with the pumped
drive, then add another non-configured and add to ASP as normal.

If you've got mirroring available to you, just not turned on, you might be
able to create a mirrored load source, break the mirror, and do it that way
too.  Just some thoughts off the top of my head.

Subject: Replacing load source disk


I want to remove the 6607 (4GB) drives with 6713 (8GB).  It's a small model
170 with a max of 4 drives.  I have already done this with the three non
load source disks (I'm not running mirroring nor RAID).  Now I want to
upgrade the load source disk.  Right now, everything's working, so it's not
a replacement of failed hardware situation.

How do I do this?

Do I 'remove' unit 4, thus clearing it, and then 'replace' unit 1 with the
now non-configured unit 4?  Do I then have to insert unit 4 into the load
source disk slot (thus making it drive 1 (or drive 0))?

The books in publib don't discuss this in detail, only non-load-source
disks.

Thanks.
