RE: Moving disks from one iSeries to another

BTW, you can't remove your drives concurrently.  You can drain them
using the STRASPBAL command with the *MOVDTA option, but you need to IPL
in manual mode to DST to remove them from the ASP they're in.

Good Luck,
Glenn

        I called IBM on this and discovered that using concurrent
maintenance to install more than one or two drives is a bad idea.  What
I need to do is power down the system and install the disks.  After
that, I do a manual IPL to put the disk into a parity set and add them
into the system.  They said that doing it this way will save a lot of
long and involved conversations with the support center.  Thanks for the
help, Marc and Paul.
