Hi,

Running Open-E DSS V7Lite version 7.0up05.xxxx.6806 2012-11-16 b6806 on whitebox hardware. with 2 x 1TB SATA in software RAID1

I have been using this as iSCSI storage for vSphere 5 for about a month and today I shutdown the server to move it to a new location. Upon restarting the server logging into the WebGUI I could not see my volume group.

Navigation several pages I am presented with errors informing me the system volume cannot be found.

On the software raid page I can see my installed drives, my two 1TB drives are listed as S/W Raid Part, but there is nothing I can do with them.

Unit S000
298.09
WD-WCAMR2046614
available

Unit S002
298.09
WD-WCAMR2040020
available

Unit S003
931.51
JP2921HQ0HVJVA
S/W RAID PART

Unit S004
931.51
JP2921HQ0JT6SA
S/W RAID PART

After reading another post, I accessed C+A+X on the console and attempted to restore the LVM configuration.

When I select the a known good date I am presented with a screen that says that it cannot find device with uuid "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"


I am unsure how to proceed, I have a two week old backup of the data I could restore from and be just fine, but I cannot even remove the drives from the S/W raid to create a new array.


Please advise,

Thanks,

Donald
