3pair 7200 incorrect volumes

Good day, community. We have a 3PAR 7200 that we took out of production, and at the time, it was used for testing and product trials. It was powered off approximately 6 months ago. It turns out that a developer had some modules he needs and remembered that they are on a virtual machine that was running on this storage. We powered it on, and it didn’t work: one controller was in failure. After some attempts, it started with just one controller and showed the volumes, but we couldn’t access them. Unfortunately, the controller failed.

So, we made use of another 3PAR with a single enclosure, replaced the hard drive on the controller, and inserted it into the 3PAR. It powered on, but didn’t allow access. I connected via console, and using the showsysmgr command, it showed "Cannot reach TOC quorum. Use ‘setsysmgr’ to set system manager startup state". After many searches on forums, I found the following: setsysmgr tocgen (number that was shown as GEN in the instruction). After many restarts using the command, I was able to enter, but it shows the volumes from when it was productive.

Is there a way to recover the laboratory volumes? Thanks in advance. Regards.

Hi jdiaz220481,

It could be the wrong (or old) selected during the startup. Not sure whether you can recover the lost volumes now.
