Configuring disks and disk protection

This topic describes the procedures for using the character-based interface to configure and protect disks on your system.

This topic includes checklists for performing the disk configuration tasks in the correct sequence. You can also configure disks and disk protection through System i® Navigator.

You can use system service tools (SST) to do some disk configuration procedures while your system is active. For other procedures, you must stop your system and use dedicated service tools (DST). This topic provides information about both SST and DST.
