HELP (after XSAN controller crash files are not accessible)

Hi sgrappone

-Are you able to mount a volume with nothing in it?

Correct

-Did you have a backup of the configuration files?

I would have to check.

-What do you mean by "Data recovery scan?" are you talking about cvfsck?

No a third party Data recovery software was used.

-If you are referring to a cvfsck what flags did you use after the command for example did you run cvfsck -nv

I can run that code in the morning.

-What are the logs saying?

I will check th elogs tomorrow when I get back into the shop. I do recall that coworker mentioned first it had icb mismatch. But when the new controller went online the error wasnt present. I will check in the morning.

Thanks!

Here is the result for cvfsck -nv
