Corrupt Database on Redundant 2K

Is it possible to use OPS MAN to upgrade a Redundant 2K with a corrupted database? I would think OPS would do the datasave/restore (required to recover from corruption) as part of the task but I'm not having any luck. During the upgrade process (Upgrade inactive side only) OPS is reporting that the DB is corrupted and aborting.

From this it looks like I'm going to have to take two outages, one to fix the DB corruption and then another to perform the upgrade.

OPS is reporting Data save failed, database corruption found, some data will be lost and then offers two options, RETRY or TERMINATE. If I retry the same thing happens. If you click terminate it of course terminates the job.

Ideas?
 
BY THE WAY....

If any of you ever have this (severe corruption) happen and you have nightly database backups enabled, it appears that OPS will continue trying to perform the backup over and over, multiple times, with the net result that it will overwrite all of your prior good datasaves for the site. That can be a little perplexing when you think to yourself, OH NO PROBLEM I HAVE BACKUPS.... well no you don't, not anymore, not unless you back up the server (which fortunately we do). Once burned, twice wise.
