Hardware guy is configuring the array so our system can read it. Will be
hooking it up soon to see if we can get past the crash.
I'm still puzzled by losing the message "start aggregate recovery of mpexl
volume set and complete of mpexl volume set". Could it be we began to see
degradation of VA communication as we rebooted a dozen times? We would try
something and reboot, knowing that wouldn't fix it, but due diligence
sometimes overrules common sense especially when reporting to mgmt why it
takes so long to fix this.
