We just tried that, and RAID did not come back.

Well, perhaps the bigger problem is that one of the new drives failed.  Fix
that, and maybe the RAID-5 comes back.

We talked to the PE and he said that as long as there was the same model
drive in the same position it should work with parity running, so we took
the rack config from before and after, and swapped a few drives around to
make it match. The 2 CE's and a Ex CE here were curious to see if this would
work.   And it did not.

So we took AL's advice and stopped RAID-5.  We then started the Restore, and
when this finished it came back to DST and RAID-5 was not going.  So as the
book says we did a IPL to manual mode, and never came back up because one of
the new drives failed during the  IPL.

Should RAID have been restarted automatically by the restore storage?
