Joe,

Do you have the hot-swap option on your drive cage?

If so, you can of course replace a failed drive with _no_ downtime.

IIRC, the 270 supports hot swap, but you had to pay extra for the
"concurrent maintenance" drive cage.

No, I don't have the hot swap feature (this is a rather old machine, with no
tape drive, much less a hot swap cage <grin>).

Thus my desire to have a pseudo-hot-swap option.

Joe
