production server won't start please help me!

if anyone can help me here I will be in debt eternaly. I'm in a spot here fearing for my job.

I tried to install a new scsi array on our E5500. I powered it down correctly, removed the terminator, connected the array and powered it on. It was taking so long to come up I freaked out and powered it off again. Disconected the array, reconnected the terminator and powered back on. Again took forever to come up but. Is now complaining about metainit: no existing databases. Looks like it sees the drives though and says they are stable. But is not coming the rest if the way up. Sits timed out looking for NIS.

I'm doing this from a phone so please bear with me.

Please help I am shaking with fear here.
