Getting really close...
Disks look 'kinda' balanced.
CHKASPBAL no longer has any units marked out of service, but it says a
balance is still running.
I think it felt the disks were close enough to being in balance that it
would stop the balancing, mark the units in service and automatically fire
off another balance.
Maybe next week I'll do a TRCASPBAL and then balance them according to
*usage.
DSPLOG PERIOD((*AVAIL 091512)) MSGID(CPI1474 CPI1475)
shows that around 8:07 this morning it stopped and started another balance
automatically.
