RE: Adding DASD to a 520

Thanks for the responses, everyone.

Just as an FYI - the expansion unit is already installed - all I am doing is just installing the additional DASD to the disks that already exist in it (there's four in it right now, so I'd be shoving an additional eight disks into it). I guess that wasn't entirely clear in my original email. Like I said the only concern I have is if I try to do this during production that it will slow our 400 down to a crawl and really cause issues for the folks on the production floor who use it.

But it sounds simple enough - pop the disks in, and use SST. I'm guessing in SST I need to (3) Work with disk units -> (2) Work with disk configuration -> (2) Add units to ASPs - - correct?

If you were talking about just adding a couple of disks I'd recommend you
do it yourself. Use iNav for the wizard on how to install. Use SST to
"add and balance".
However, since you are adding an expansion unit and memory also I'd leave
it all up to the experts.
