My bad.
Maybe I over-generalised.

Bad idea. Many times there are trade-offs in performance or getting
less of something else when you specify "the max". You need to look

1. Yes, I know. I saw the post.

If the max is not the default, the max is specified.
That's the way I do it.

PAGTOTL=256 is a virtual limit, the real limit is 253 and I never seen a number
higher then 15.
So a PAGEADD might result in an IPL no more.

One other thing noted by one of the other respondents.
In order to add the new physical drive into the existing array some interesting
steps need to occur:
1: System in service mode.
2: The drive has to be 'commissioned' (IIRC the verb); this can only be done if
it was properly decommissioned whe

If you have a model number for the drive, (aside from IBM) you could try
calling one of the companies whose web sites are listed below.
I know nothing of the Multiprise, but in my experience, there are very
few drives that are actually loaded with custom microcode. So, it's my
guess that any 1

We had one fail and we simply asked IBM to replace it - about 3k GBP (thats
inc labour) as I recall. The drive itself is basically a fairly standard
SCSI drive encased in some IBM specific stuff. Its also part of a RAID array
and I believe the replacment needs to match the others in the array
My only source has been IBM support.
These drives are actually just standard IBM "DeathStar" 18 Gb. SCSI drives with
a fancy carrier. Its the carrier that makes them unique.
We have two MP3K's and, between them, we have had to replace a bunch of these
guys. There is also a 3 9gb. drive array
One of our drives is/has failed, would anybody know of a source for
them? It's a drive unique (as far as I know) to the Multiprise
Thanks,
