Removing a failed disk unit from the system auxiliary storage pool

By removing a failed disk unit from the system auxiliary storage pool (ASP), you return your system to operation if a replacement disk unit is not immediately available. However, this action removes all data from your system and requires a complete restore operation.

Before you remove a failed disk unit from the system ASP, ensure that the remaining 2800-001 storage units in your system ASP are large enough for a main storage dump. Consult software support or refer to the Working with auxiliary storage pools topic.

After you remove a failed disk unit from the system ASP, your system will have less disk capacity. You might not be able to restore all user information until you have installed and configured a replacement disk unit.
