Hi Joe

You don't say whether you did a manual IPL and accessed the Service tools on
the initial menu (the one that allows you to IPL your system) or just
started the system up and went into SST once the machine was running.

If you did the latter you will be provided with options.

The former is the DST (Dedicated Service Tools) function and as far as I am
aware is the only place you get the option to remove a disk.

Regards
Evan Harris

You have to remove the drive within SST and then add the replacement.
Then it will let you rebuild.

Since you've already done the physical swap consider this the logical
swap. And don't be concerned about it showing the serial number of the
old drive when you go to rebuild the RAID set; it'll update to the
replacement drive's s/n at some point.

I couldn't find the remove option, but I did find an option to rebuild the
failed drive, and so I took that. It seems to be rebuilding it now.
