I received one reply so far, thanx to Andre:
**********
I imagine sys_check uses swxcrmgr to do that.
that same swxcrmgr should be used to (online) replace
the drive.
Regards, Andre
*********

Apparently searched for that command (swxcrmgr), and I
do not have it on the system. Is it built into
sys_check then?, since sys_check was able to retrieve
this output?
Only other utility i know of comes in a floppy disk,
and the machine has to be down, then access the floppy
disk(swxcrmgr.exe) from there.If there is any way to
replace the disk online, I would appreciate knowing
about it + utility to access from unix directly.

Thanks.
