A year later we had HP onsite to install a third SCSI half height drive in the open bay. All went well until the next morning after the install. I came into work and sometime during the night the system did a hardware crash. It happened to be the new disc drive that failed. HP came on site very quickly. As the SE was about to pull out the defective drive he burned his fingers as he grabbed hold of the drive mech. (ouch!@#) [...]42_23Dec199913:54: [log in to unmask] |

One addition; if you're using Mirror/iX:
10.1) RESTORE ;/SYS/ , /TELESUP/;create;olddate
The basic INSTALL doesn't bring back the optional pieces of Volutil that
allow it to manage mirrored drives; you need to restore the files in SYS
(probably just PUB, but I just do them all, and telesup just in case).
After that reboot (11), you'll then be able to enter mirror-related commands
in volutil.
