Re: Disk Management on a 9406-179

It seems you are mixing concepts.
ASP's are not partitions, you dont usually need multiple ASP, that's what
Single Level Storage is for.
Also, the part number is not conductive to knowing what card you are
talking about. Almost everything in As400/iSeries/POWER hardware is
referenced by its CCIN, for example some cards that might go in a 170 are
the 2740, 2748, 2763, same with the disks, 9Gb drives sound like 6713 or
6717 disks
Parity protection can be either RAID5 or RAID6 (hotspares and RAID6
avaiable on newer hardware with latest LIC versions)
Mirror is just that, mirror.
If the card supports it you can create start parity protection on the 8
drives and, if you really need multiple asps, you could create up to 7 asp
(1 disk per ASP minimum IIRC)
Best Regards,

Can anyone point me in the right direction for the following.

I have a 9406-170 with Eight (8.5GB) HD's.
The controller card is a 75G3439 PCI Controller Card AS/400e 9406-170
w/21H5072 Card.

So can I Mirror, RAID-5, Parity Protect ?

I cannot find any documentation on what exactly Parity Protection is -
is it Mirroring or RAID ?

If I can Mirror this system - I'd like to put:
2 HD's in the System ASP
2 HD's in a User ASP
and then Mirror them all.

So would I need to:
set up two more 2 HD ASP's
a single 4 HD ASP

Then how would I go about enabling the Mirroring ?

Note: I have no PC Operations Navigator - just a dumb terminal.

Best,
Anguis
