> Thanks for those who replied. It looks like I won't be able to
> rebuild the RAID if two physical disks have gone bad.
>
> UPDATE and NEW QUESTION:
>
> I've been performing a number of tests to try and bring my second
> logical drive up. One of these was to make the two physical drives
> optimal and run parity checks on them. Once parity was corrected I
> rebooted. While booting up I received a cpu panic and a dump.
> Attached is the crash data that was saved. Is there something I can
> do to correct this problem that will let me avoid a system rebuild, or
> am I out of luck?

> > We have a AS 1200 with two logical RAID partitions running Tru64

> > Two physical disks possibly crashed (yellow lights) on the second
