Re: Replacing a failed Disk in a Raid Set

Why power it down?  Replace it whilst the machine continues to run.
I don't have the exact steps but with STRSST there is a way to take a disk 
out of service, put in a new one, make it ready, restart RAID and go from 
there.

My Disk config looks like this on my V5R1 270:

                           Resource 
ASP  Unit      Type Model  Name        Status 
  1                                             Unprotected 
        1      6713  074   DD004       DPY/Failed 
        2      6713  074   DD001       DPY/Unprotected 
        3      6713  074   DD005       DPY/Unprotected 
        4      6713  074   DD002       DPY/Unprotected 
        5      6713  070   DD003       DPY/Unprotected

Can I just power down, pop out disk 1, replace it, then power on?  Or is
there something I need to do in service tools?

I've been browsing the backup and recovery guide, but haven't found how
to yet.  I don't have hardware service on this development machine, so
I'm doing this myself.
