VNX Needs Reassembled
We are trying to complete a data migration from a VNX storage array that has been out of service for about a year. Someone has completely removed the drives and DAEs from the enclosure. Is there a procedure for correctly reassembling the array to prevent any data corruption or data loss?

Hello bschandl81,
If you know the order that the drives were removed, then you can insert them and power the system up & then login to unisphere and see the system and volumes.
If you have no idea of the order of the drives and enclosures, then it is going to be difficult to get the system back up & running without support assistance.

Thank you...that is my fear. We have no idea of what order the drives were removed and I doubt the array is still under support so we may have to put it under a very short term support agreement just so we can get this done.
