Re: Disk failure procedure

Scott,
The Infocenter only gives the iNav directions. At least, I couldn't find any command line stuff before everyone came back on line this morning. Anyway, I tried it through iNav and it told me that "No Service Tools Server found at address 10.0.10.200" I found a reference that said I needed to add a entry and restart TCP, which I didn't have the interest to do will the drive failure looming in the background.
So, Justin gets the prize. I did use the "Concurrent Maintenance" option. I was never able to get the LED to blink to confirm that I had the correct drive but, based on Justin's information, I pulled the drive in slot 5, replaced it, rebuilt it and all is now well. I didn't have to shut down the 270. Just did a hot replacement on the drive itself.
Thanks to all who weighed in. 
Pete Helgren

Really?  I'd say that we've never had any issues with that piece, but
IIRC we did have to load a PTF or CA service pack to get it to work
right in the beginning.  We've used it on a 170, an 810 and a 720 for
sure, I can't remember if we used it on our 620.

I saw it in an iNav update session at Common years ago and couldn't rest
until we had it running.  Seems like I also had to upgrade iNav ahead of
the system to get it working and some features didn't work until the O/S
caught up.

Good frigging luck on that. I'd love that to work. Can't get it to. Finally got IBM to duplicate it in the lab. Although it may work for others. I suspect it may be a 570 vs other frames and/or expansion units and figuring out frame dash unit dash drive dash yadda yadda yadda. I think it confuses even iNav.
