Re: Power 6 8203-E4A

Wellll that SRC says it cannot find the load source. Generally we 
consider this to be 'bad.'

That could be the drive is actually dead. Or multiple drives in the LS 
RAID set are dead. Or the RAID card in the thing is dead. Or something 
got knocked loose in the deal.

Probably first thing is to assure it's set to "B" and "N"ormal mode.

Assuming no HMC as none was mentioned but having one of those would be 
helpful.
