Re: EVA4000 problem

Hi,
Agree with all above, if it's been initialized/unintialized that's it really.
If you are running command view 6.x then you could have a look at the logs to see who/when it was un/initialized but this is nothing to do with getting the data back, you need full backups.
The default location for the log files are on the management server are:
C:\Program Files\Compaq\SANworks\Element Manager for StorageWorks HSV\Bridge\logs

With V6 cmd view it would also be hard to have an accident to unitialize the EVA as you have to manually type in "YES" twice along with a text explination to say that you will loose data. Earlier command view versions and its just about 3/4 rambo clicks and its all gone.

For future reference you may wish to consider upgrading to cmd vw v6 as it has a bit of added security as well as setting up the password security between the array & cmd vw. This, however, would not stop someone from uninitializing the EVA from the front control panel! I "pressume" that the EVA in in a secure environment in the first place ??? If you do go to cmd vw 6 then make sure that you have a supported version of XCS code as well.

Good luck with the restore.
