Re: Dead disk in LS slot on 520

[Roberto José Etcheverry Romero <yggdrasil.raiker@xxxxxxxxx>]

Disregard the previous mail. Doing another IPL from the CD i've found that
the current status is "Rebuilding" where it was DPHxxx before so, i'll wait
and i bet it'll start without problems.
Thanks anyways!

PS: i'm working on the VIOS tutorials, i just got the power connections for
the BladeCenter H so i not only got the power6 machines up and configured
with VIOS but i also got an old JS21 blade with VIOS (via IVM) so i can
play with both managing modes
