IPL the owning LPAR to DST and remove the drives from the ASP.
Power off the partition (controlled!) and change the profile to not have
the controller as desired or required.
Power on the test partition and confirm everything is working.
Change the production profile to have the, now un-owned, controller as
required.
Dynamically assign the controller to the target partition.
The drives should show up after a few minutes, still raid protected and
can be added to the ASP using the add and balance feature inside DST.

Subject: Moving DASD between LPARs
Greetings!
I have 4 disks that were in one LPAR, and were moved to the TEST LPAR
prior
to my starting here, and now we want to move them back to the original
LPAR> I ran the STRASPBAL command marking those drives with *ENDALC,
then I
ran the STRASPBAL *MOVDTA command. They are now at 1.2 or 1.3 % used.
They
are RAID protected.
STRSST shows them as follows;
Parity Resource Hot Spare
Set ASP Unit Type Model Name Status Protection
1 573D 001 DC04 RAID-5 N
1 3 4328 074 DD015 Active
1 4 4328 074 DD014 Active
1 1 4328 074 DD016 Active
1 2 4328 074 DD013 Active
2 571B 001 DC07 RAID-5 N
1 6 4328 074 DD018 Active
1 5 4328 074 DD017 Active
1 7 4328 074 DD019 Active
1 8 4328 074 DD020 Active
I want to remove parity set 2 - disk unites 5,6,7 and 8 from the ASP,
make
them available to the other LPAR and add them to the ASP there.
What steps do I need to do now? I searched the archives, and IBM
InfoCenter
and didn't see the answer I need, although I'm sure it is there. Do I
have
to IPL the LPAR to dedicated Service Tools to remove them from the ASP
now?
The LPARs are HMC managed. The HMC is V7R3.3.0.
Thanks!
Jim
