Hi!

Thank you for your answer.

I have halted Sun server with storedge in the evening
and I have turned them on in the morning.
The server can't mount storege than
and I saw this problem.
So, there were no writings when storedge crashes.

This storedge is using to store distributives, cdrom images and so on.
There were many readings, but few writings.
So, the storedge data was consistent at crash moment.

If I have a byte-to-byte copy of the failed drive,
from the same manufacturer, the same model and size, and so on,
why is array manager software marked it "replaced"?
I think, array manager software get this answer from storedge controller.
Why is storedge controller think so?
May be it checks raid disks headers, for example,
reads first sector of every disk, and looking for a label...

If so, I can mark every disk with same label
and I get recovered LUN.

What do you think about this possibility?

Klim.
