[cisco-voip] Publisher crashed in a 5.0(4) cluster with one subscriber

[Ryan Ratliff]

I'm not sure to be honest.  Does a general array diagnostic work at  
all?   Are there any red lights on either the disks or internal to  
the server (if you take the lid off)?

Is the /common partition one of the ones the file check lists?

It may be worth engaging TAC to get IBM involved.

Hi Ryan,
1. Recovery disk boots but i cannot but the inactive partition: it  
stops at the same point Couldn't find matching File system: LABEL =/ 
common
  i pressed f to file check: it finds the 3 first partitions OK and  
then it stops and brings me to the menu.
  I see the array as degraded but the 2 disks are healthy.
When i press ctrl-A during booting, and i enter at the array utility,  
when i try to verify
the physical disks, 1 or 2, it reboots without saying anything at 17%

What could be going wrong? The raid controller of the IBM, MCS7825I2?  
one of the disks?

Please, any help appreciated!
