Adding disks and Lun to MD3000i issue

I would strongly recommend that you open a support ticket. I would think that it is possible that the data is still there, but clearly things are not working as they should. There are a variety of ways to contact support - you can start at support.dell.com. Click on Contact Us and then Technical Support and Telephone to get a list of numbers.

Thanks,

We had talked to support and in the end they do not know where the data went. Tried several different recoveries etc I was just throwing it out there to see if anyone else may have come across this. Luckily it was not crucial info and just testing info.... although for obvious reasons my powers that be do not want us to progress any further into production without an answer.

We just had an issue while adding a lun, we could not connect to our other luns. We saw that it had established a connection, but the server operating system wanted us to run Checkdsk on one of the volumes before it would mount any volumes.

Was this just from the one server ? When you say "added a lun" , was this a new one or made changes to an existing lun ? Which OS version and SP level ? Did it want to run chkdsk on the lun in question, or a different lun ?

Did they all mount after the chkdsk ? What firmware version on the md3000i ? Did you call into support ?

They were 2 different servers...deleted a 1.8tb virtual disk and created a disk group with a smaller 400gb virtual disk to mount on windows 2003 server standard 64bit. All 3 of our remaining 1.8 disks would not mount, one on an esx server, one on a windows 2003 32bit and one 64bit. They all mount after running checkdisk on one of the 1.8tb virtual disks. We called into support, but we need to make room for another spare copy of all data before we call back to troubleshoot the machine.
