Re: Lost contact with partition after applying latest CUME and groups

Thanks!  I went ahead and ordered the same FRU.  The drives were a bit more expensive but were guaranteed and delivered overnight.

Pete,
Depends on what kind of storage you are using. most storages WONT accept a
drive with incorrect VPD (just like IBM i), even if it's he same
ST3146855SS. What you need to verify is mostly the FC/Option (or in IBM i's
case the CCIN). If those match, it's OK.
Best way to be sure? use the same FRU.
Best Regards,
Roberto

Gonna have to get a couple of drives so here is one last question before I
get the drive and have to figure out what to do to re-establish the
mirror...

Does the FRU on the drive have to match the replacement? The storage
module has 6, 146GB 3.5 inch 15K drives that have FRU 43W7526 and the
model is ST3146855SS. I don't think that the FRU is critical. I find a
lot of used ("pre-owned"!) 146GB 15K IBM SAS drives with different FRU's at
various prices. I am going to spend a few bucks to get them overnighted
(might as well buy two or three while I am at it) but I'd hate to get some
that won't work. So how important is the FRU's to match?

Don't feel so bad. There's a big difference between a MTU and a PTF cover
letter. I never take the time to read all PTF cover letters when I do
cume and groups.
