Replacing/Restoring Failed Drive
- 10 years ago
Thanks to the help of Shane in Symantec support, we found and resolved the problem.

c8 GENESIS ENABLED GENESIS0The c8 was disabled because the Fiber port was bad. After we replaced the port, we ran:
#> vxdctl enable
This rescanned everything and brought the c8 controller back online. From there, we just had to unmount the other filesystems that were on the device, export the entire disk group, then reimport them.
We did have to fix the plex as well, but as far as others searching for possible solutions to similar problems, this will hopefully get them a long way towards a fast fix.
