    We have S70 with 6215 SSA adapter and SSA disk array. The SSA (16
    disks) current configured as 2 RIAD5 loops and 4 stand along disks. Due
    to rootvg(on internal hdisk0 NOT SSA) has problem we need restore from
    MKSYSB disk. My questions are:

    1. what is procedures to handle SSA after MKSYSB tape restore? Any
    documents?

    2. does RAID5 configuration will still keep or lose?

    Thanks.
