Dear Managers,
I'm hoping someone can help me recover my system without having to
restore from backups...?
We have a 2-node cluster (DS20 + ES40 + HSG80 storage, running Tru64
5.1Pk3) and, after a planned shutdown for some power work, it won't boot!
The cluster was shut down cleanly, but the HSG80 was not shutdown before
powering-off. I now see that the RAIDset containing root1_domain,
clu_quorum_dev, cluster_root, cluster_var, cluster_usr and root2_domain
is in a peculiar state:
HSG> show raid10

There ought to be 6 partitions on there!
Can anyone suggest a recovery strategy other than re-creating the
RAIDset and restoring from tape? Might there be any mileage in
deleteing and the re-creating the RAIDset without initialising, in the
hope that the data will still be on the disks?
Many thanks,
Andrew
