If the RAID set is gone, you need to rebuild it, and I think you do need DST. Either way I would not allow any production until that’s done, plus it would be faster in DST than SST since the OS won’t be started. Get ready for it to take “some minutes” as Larry likes to say.

Looks like we have to replace a raid/cache card in our 740 because when the battery was replaced the cache didn't start.

Anyone familiar with the process.

Tech support is telling us we need to IPL manual D side and go into DST to rebuild the raid set.

True?

Thx,

Jerry
