Hi everyone,
I have a HP VA7110 disk array connected to a Windows 2000 Server.

At some time in the past the disks in the array have been accessible from 3 Red Hat Enterprise servers, but are now no longer available. By this I mean, booting up one of the 3 RHEL machines produces messages similar to:

fsck.ext3: no such file or directory /dev/sdd1, /dev/sde1.

OR, that these device files are invalid.

The (very sparse) documentation I've been given on these systems points to using HP Storage Works Command View to manage the SAN connections, but the command view displays a blank screen upon startup. Status is "????" and Actions->Refresh makes no difference.

However, the documentation has a screenshot which shows Devices, localhost, and status of Ready. How can I recover the system to this state?

armdiscover returns "No devices found on host: localhost"

Any help most appreciated. I've been thrown into this without any support!
