I think you're down to restoring with ignite restore tape that you've hopefully recently made.

Re: Server is Down ?

Dear Sudhaadm,

If the problem with the DISKs are confirmed, then no point in trying to recover the LIF.

Just replace the disk and restore ignite backup.

by the way how did you confirm the disks problem.

With regards,

Siva.
