RE: Moving RAID protected DISK from an IASP to a USER ASP

Kenneth,

I just did a SSD disk swap, went through a similar process.

STRSST
3. Work with disk units
2. Work with disk configuration
12. Work with removing units from configuration
3. Remove units from configuration

You will see a screen similar to below.
Select the unit(s) you wish to remove.
Because you already moved the data, this will be fast, 1 to 5 minutes.
Disk will then be non-configured, but still Raid protected.

Then,
2. Add units to ASPs
3. Add units to existing ASPs
You will then get a screen showing the non configured units you just removed.
You can then add them to an ASP of your choice.

Type options, press Enter.
4=Remove unit from configuration

I was also just going from memory, and I did say to try your option first.
I just had a nagging voice(and still have) in my head that removing disks from IASP's wouldn't work from there and wanted to give the OP an extra place to look.

I'm more than happy to stand corrected on it and see how the OP goes, but last time I messed with reallocating disk to and from an IASP I found I had to use the GUI.

DO get the option to remove disks from an iASP.

Not to correct the Doc, but I have a feeling you might need to
actually

remove them from the Disk Pool via the Navigator for i GUI (though
there might be a command line option on V7R1).

I think the SST tools as suggested will work with normal ASP's but
not IASP's but try that first as per Larry's suggestion and then look
in the GUI if that doesn't work.

(Without reading any documentation) if you are on i 7.1 just go into
Service Tools and in work with disk units remove those disks from
the iASP.
Then add them to the system ASP. Done.

Hmmmm, that easy ... OK ... I'll take a look !
