RE: Can't get system to recognize new disk

["Evan Harris" <spanner@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Joe

You don't say whether you did a manual IPL and accessed the Service tools on
the initial menu (the one that allows you to IPL your system) or just
started the system up and went into SST once the machine was running.

If you did the latter you will be provided with options.

The former is the DST (Dedicated Service Tools) function and as far as I am
aware is the only place you get the option to remove a disk.

Evan Harris

I couldn't find the remove option, but I did find an option to rebuild the
failed drive, and so I took that.  It seems to be rebuilding it now.
