Seems like I have either asked or seen this before but I am planning to
upgrade 5 out of 10 disks allocated to an LPAR which is currently at
86%. My goal is to hopefully replace the drives while the partition is
active so the question is: Can I replace the drives one at a time and
just allow RAID-5 to rebuild the drives?
The info center for V5R4 says this:
"A disk unit that is running with device parity protection can be
exchanged only if it has failed. A disk unit running with device parity
protection cannot be replaced with a non-configured disk even if it has
failed."
So it sounds like I *can't* do it.
Any pointers here? Seems like I should be able to just replace each
disk one at a time and let then it rebuild before replacing the next
one, but having only replaced truly failed drives, I am in uncharted
territory.
The existing drives are model 4326 type 072 (30GB) and I plan to
replace them with 4327 (70GB). V5R4M0 9406 520
