Exchanging a Disk Unit with Mirrored Protection
Definitions:
v Local load source - A disk used as the source for IPL data.
Primary Partition:
– For system models 270 and 820, this disk unit must be located in position
D01, D02, D03, or D04.
– For system models 830, 840, SB2 and SB3, this disk unit must be located in
position D31, D32, D33, or D34.
Secondary Partition:
– See ’Locating a Secondary Partition’s Load Source From the Primary
Partition’s Console’ in the iSeries Service Functions information
v Remote load source - A load source disk unit that is not a local load source.
1. Display the disk unit status by performing the following:
a. Select system service tools (SST).
If you cannot get to SST, select dedicated service tools (DST) (see
“Accessing Dedicated Service Tools” in the iSeries Service Functions).
Note: If the customer is running applications on the system, do not power
off the system or IPL the system to get to DST.
If you cannot get to SST or DST, and the system fails during the IPL
to DST, the local load source disk unit may be in the wrong location
or in a failed state. SRCB1xx4504 is displayed during the IPL to DST
if a functional load source disk unit is failing or not in one of the
positions indicated by the local load source definition above.
