From: Edwin vMierlo on 5 Sep 2006 05:00 If you create a new volume and then use dskprobe, you probably would loose all data on that volume ! as you describe that your server is constantly rebooting, it could be that dmboot/dmload drivers are not properly loading or even be disabled, or you have a mini-dump configured, which could be that you have a blue-screen, but that it happens so quickly that you don't actually see the blue screen. If you have data on that original volume, you can do two things 1) open a ticket with PPS, and have them troubleshoot the "reboot behaviour" 2) reinstall and reload your data from backup maybe someone else has any further tips rgds, edwin.
