You might get a message similar to the following:
The system cannot boot with more than one disk missing from a RAID
group.
This message indicates that a volume might be missing some disks because either
not all the disks in a volume were transferred to a new filer or disks were damaged.
Make sure that all the disks in a volume were transferred. If the problem persists, it
might mean that disks were damaged. Complete the following steps to resolve the
problem.
1. Display the boot menu from diskette, as described in Booting From System
Boot Diskette, then choose Maintenance mode boot.
2. Use the
vol offline
command to take the volume off-line.
3. Reboot the filer; the volume specified in Step 2 is off-line.
4. Add missing disks, if possible, then bring them on-line; otherwise, follow these
steps:
a. Replace any broken disks.
b. Destroy the old volume.
c. Create a new volume.
d. Use the
restore
command to restore the contents of the old volume from
a backup tape.

The file system rarely becomes inconsistent. However, an inconsistent file system
can be a result of combined disk and NVRAM failure.
