Definitely connected to the active control module. I believe reset resets the array, losing all configuration? That's certainly what your colleague says here: en.community.dell.com/.../20275862.aspx - something I'd rather avoid!
Perhaps I should try it with only one controller installed?
Are you connected to the passive control module? If so move the serial cable to the active control module to complete the setup. You may need to run the reset command again, then switch the seral cable to the active control module to complete the setup.
Sadly support has expired on the unit, but surely there's a resolution - it can't simply have lost terabytes of data because it was powered down - I'd be happy (though disappointed) with a bit of loss if the rest became accessible.

It was powered off for a couple of weeks at most.

Sorry about that... thought you were trying to reset the array! So you just powered up from a (non-clean)powerdown right?

As per the post I linked to, the diag command just hangs at 5/15 - I was hoping to get something useful from there.

Yep, just powering up from a non-clean powerdown. Currently trying to avoid resetting the array!
