<h1 class="topictitle1">Example: Writing data to a disk unit when its corresponding parity
data is on a failed disk unit</h1>
<div><p>The write request from the iSeries™ server detects a disk failure
for the disk unit that contains the corresponding parity data. The write request
is to sector 2 on disk unit 4. Parity information for disk unit 4, sector
2, is on failed disk unit 3. The following actions occur: </p>
<ol><li>A failure is detected on the disk unit that contains the parity data,
disk unit 3.</li>
<li>Calculating parity information is not required because it cannot write
to parity sector 2 of disk unit 3. Therefore, there is no requirement to read
the original data and the parity information.</li>
<li>Data is written to disk unit 4, sector 2. <p>A write operation requires
only one write operation for the new data. Parity data for parity sector 2
on disk unit 3 will be rebuilt during synchronization after disk unit 3 is
replaced.</p>
</li>
