Silo Bay Failure

Hi,

I have a system with three silos one of which has a bay that is malfunctioning. When I go to boot the system it hangs. This has happened before and after I tinkered with the silo's wires enough the system booted. This time however I think the silo bay has died for good. I would like to remove the disk from the current volume group (not the root volume group) and just not use the offending bay in the future. What can I do to accomplish this. Is it possible to boot from the Recovery CD and remove disk from VG? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thx,
Tim

Re: Silo Bay Failure

Why couldn't you just disconnect the offending silo from the system, boot in single user mode, remove the disks from the volume group? Once done you can reboot and all should be fine.
