Recovering data from failed disks in Veritas volume manager

#1 (**permalink**) 01-16-2008, 10:15 AM

After I shutdown and restarted the server three disks in one volume
group failed. Two of them were spare disks and one was data disk.
Basically it lost all the spare disks on that volume. Is there any way
I can recover the data from the data disk. Any help is appreciated.

This is a test lab server and there is no backup

There are some reason why the disk fail, maybe ar broken. Do you see the
this at format command? What tell the messages ? And if you see the disk
with "vxdisk list" in failed was:cxtxdx try the command: vxreattach
