Hi Tickety-boo, I apologize for the late reply and also for what you experienced. An offline drive shouldn't have caused corruption but it sounds like maybe you are running on raid5? It would be best if you can create a PMR and have IBM Support take a look at it to see why the v7000 behaved the way it did. We can also do a healthcheck for you to see if there are any other lingering issues on your v7000.
You can choose to create a PMR online or by calling 1-800-IBM-SERV. To create a PMR online, please follow the link below:
