Further to Dr Franken's response:



The bad disk was in the 3rd slot from the left (P2-D3).



The second disk was in the 8th slot on the extreme right. This disk did not
join the RAID set for some reason.



The disks were removed (when powered down) from DST after IPL'ing in Manual
mode. I never got the option to remove the disks from the configuration or
it would not work. As the machine is a model 520 it has only 1 RAID set.



I will point out that the first IPL after removing the disks worked. I could
see all the remaining disks. Parity was not enabled though. The system did
not show any missing or failed disks.



I then powered down again to restart the system and use DST in manual mode
to put the disk from slot 8 into slot 3.



How do you get 2 RAID sets with 1 RAID controller?



As the 8th drive was not showing in the RAID set, I could not remove it from
the RAID set.



Thanks.
