Hello Rob,

Isn't another option to IPL into DST, turn off RAID, then turn RAID back on
and just leave off the offending disk?

Tried this. Switching off parity took ages, to free up the parity space and add it to the ASP.

When switching parity back on, I have no choice to select which disks should be part of the parity set. Duh!

Okay, so I need to switch it off prior to when we're at the DC next time anyway to pull the disk in question and re-enable parity with the five remaining disks.

:wq! PoC
