OK You did a bad thing.
First when you say 'Slot 3) do you mean 3rd from the left as in P2-D3?
Or the third from the right as in P3-D2? Hopefully it was the former and
we'll work from there. (The later is the Load Source)
You say two disks were removed, one is this 'Slot 3' guy and the other
'slot 8' (P3-D4) is that correct? Thus there are still drives in 1,2 and
4,5,6,7?
You say you removed those 2 disks from the system. You did this in Work
with DIsk Units and then Remove from Configuration or did you remove
them with Service Tools Concurrent Maintenance function? There is a very
important sequence here that MUST be followed. 1) Remove from
Configuration, 2) Exclude from Parity Protection (which could be much
more involved that this depending on your RAID configuration.) 3)
remove physically. If you deviate from this sequence, meet Mr 9021. :-)
Do you know if you had two RAID sets or just one?
When the system 'came up' did you get all the way to IBM i or just
Service Tools? Service tools might come up with units missing. If you
got all the way to full operation what did WRKDSKSTS show? Was one unit
showing FAILED? (or two?) In theory you could have had two raid sets and
slots 3 and 8 were part of different raid sets. Perhaps now another
drive has failed and that would be bad.
I think the most important question is did you remove the slot 8 drive
from RAID before you pulled it out? Or possible was it not participating
in RAID (which would be curious at the least.)
So many questions, so much puzzlement....

I had a bad disk (slot 3). I went into DST and removed 2 disks from my
system. The other was the 8th disk which I want to move to slot 3.
I successfully removed the 2 disks and IPL'd the system.
The system came up normally minus the 2 removed disks.
I then powered down and ipl'd again in manual mode to add the 1 disk back
into slot 3.
When I did that. I got the SRC 5709 9021. I am unable to IPL the machine
now. It always gives the SRC5709 9021 code.
The SRC code = "Array not functional due to present hardware configuration."
I removed the added disk, but I am unable to get passed the SRC.
Can anyone help? I hope I do not need to do a scratch install.
