My load source just failed on me and I've been searching the archives for the possibility of replacing the disk through concurrent maintenance.

That's certainly possible, but it depends on a lot of factors.

a) What OS Level are you running?
b) What kind of disk protection is used for the load source?
c) What kind of machine are you running?
d) What kind of disk cage is the load source is (HP/NHP)?

Every halfway new machine (POWER5 and newer) always have Hot Plug
disks - for the model 270 and similar, they were optional, and i'm not
sure about the 8xx models...
