<h1 class="topictitle1">Checklist 10: Remove disk units that have device parity protection
from a disk pool with mirrored protection</h1>
<div><p>This checklist shows the sequence of tasks that you use to remove one or
more disk units from an input/output adapter that is capable of device parity
protection. These tasks apply when the disk pools that contain the disk units
have mirrored protection and when the disk units have device parity protection.
Use these tasks when your are permanently removing disk units from your system.
Do not use these tasks when you are repairing or replacing a failed disk unit.
You must restart your server to the dedicated service tools (DST) mode to
perform the tasks in this checklist.</p>
<div class="attention"><span class="attentiontitle">Attention:</span> When you perform the tasks in this checklist, the system
moves large amounts of data. Make sure that you have completely <a href="../rzaiu/rzaiuintro.htm">saved your system</a> in the
event that you need to recover from an error situation.</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Before you begin</h4><p>Print a copy of this checklist.
Check off the configuration tasks as you perform them. This checklist provides
an important record of your actions. It may help you diagnose any problems
that occur.</p>
</div>
<div class="p">Most tasks in the checklist include links to other topics. Refer to these
topics if you need more information about how to perform a particular task.
