Re: Moving disks from one iSeries to another

Rob,

You are certainly correct that removing drives is another game altogether. Disk Drain is cool and helpful but doesn't remove the requirement to use DST to get them out, it just speeds up that process. I guess I read it though that it was the add part where he expected issues. But I've slept since then!

Wasn't he originally trying to remove drives first? That's where the problem comes in. I recently did the several phone situation. I was removing drives from an inactive lpar on a 570 and adding them to an active lpar on that same box. The inactive lpar did not even have i5/os loaded yet. I had to actually load enough i5/os to go into DST and SST. Then I could remove the drives I wanted. Putting them into the live i5/os partition concurrently was easy.
