RE: That DASD card replacement issue...

No cache battery to have go "woopsie". That said before we swap the
cards, I always check to see if the card can be safely swapped. CEs look at
me funny when I check it but then admit it's not a bad idea to check.

I've had my first card replacement due to that recent issue. It was

I've got mine scheduled...

We have two ASP's. One of higher speed spinning disks, one of slower
speed, but huge, spinning disks.
The disk is looking like this:

WRKDSKSTS
--Protection--
Unit ASP Type Status
1 1 DPY ACTIVE
2 1 DPY ACTIVE
3 1 DPY ACTIVE
4 1 DPY ACTIVE
...
23 2 DPY REBUILD
24 2 DPY REBUILD
25 2 DPY REBUILD
26 2 DPY REBUILD
27 2 DPY REBUILD

Nothing of note in WRKPRB, SST-SAL, etc

08:31:45 - Unattended IPL in progress.
It's now 10:11

What does IBM support have to say? My CE thinks it'll be a normal power
down/up cycle. No mention of extended REBUILD time. This isn't a cache
battery whoopsie is it?
