Stopping device parity protection
You can select to stop device parity protection on the displayed disk units.
When preparing to stop device parity protection, the system performs validity checking to make sure that stopping device parity protection does not leave the system in a configuration that is not supported. Depending on disk unit capacity and performance, stopping device parity protection can take from several minutes to over an hour to complete, potentially affecting system performance.
You cannot stop device parity protection on a disk unit that is in a mirrored disk pool. To stop device parity protection, first work with mirrored protection.

- In iSeries™ Navigator, expand My Connections (or your active environment).
- Expand the System i™ you want to examine,Configuration and Service > Hardware > Disk Units.
- Select the disk units for which you want to stop device parity protection.
- Right-click a selected disk unit and select Stop Parity.
- From the resulting dialog box, click Stop Parity to stop device parity protection.
