Re: Missing disk unit

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Question  1:	Does the machine have mirrored protection?

Question  2:	Do you have a full save of the system?

If the answer to BOTH of the above is no, then start looking for your 
favorite lucky charms.

Question  3:	Does the disk make a sad crying noise as the system is 
starting up?

Question  4:	Have you re-seated the cables to the drives?

Question  5:	Does the drive spin up? You may need to hold a metal bar 
against it as well as against your ear to see if you can hear anything.

The message is telling you that the load source disk is there and 
working but the other disk (DD002) is not reporting in at this time. 
Without it, the system cannot start OS/400.
