Good Morning,

We have a AS 1200 with two logical RAID partitions running Tru64 5.1a. The first
logical partition contains two physical disks, and the second logical partition contains
five physical disks.

Two physical disks possibly crashed (yellow lights) on the second logical partition and
I'm trying to find a way to retrieve the data from the partition itself without rebuilding
disks or the whole logical partition. If I remember correctly, the RAID partition will not
be able to rebuild itself if two of its disks fail.

Any suggestions on how to repair this without rebuilding the RAID partition, or the whole
system.
