You can take the (physical) drives out and put them elsewhere, and Vinum will still find them. The naming is then very confusing. >> If it only has a single plex, you're in trouble. > > Well, then I'm in trouble. > >> In that case, you need your recovery company to get an image of >> the failed disk.

The easiest way is to recover the exact Vinum partition (drive) and copy it as it is onto a new Vinum drive with the same name. Then just do a 'setstate up' on the plex and subdisks.
