Those steps are what our BP/Maintenance Provider said we would have to go
through here if I wanted to switch from mirrored drives to Raid5. Since you
would have to replace the load source, sounds like the only approach
possible.

Subject: DASD replacement on a 9406-270
I have a client who wants to upgrade their 270 to V5R4 (V5R3 now), but only
has 8GB drives in the server now.
So we will have to replace the 8GB drives with 17GB drives.
There are five (5) 6717 it the server now in a single RAID-5 set.
I'm looking for suggestions from the hardware gurus on the list for the best
approach to doing such a project.
My initial thought was to do a full system save, pull all the old drive and
replacement then, rebuild the RAID set, and then do a complete system
reload.
Then I would do the V5R4 upgrade. Seems like a lot of work.
Thanks, Scott
