Acessing files on Sun Storage J4200 array

Hi.

I'm maintaining a small network of Solaris/Linux clients with a NFS/NIS server running Solaris 10. The server is a SPARC Enterprise M4000 sharing NFS filesystem that the clients are mounting. The hard drives on the server are on a Sun Storage J4200 array of 12 disks. I don't have details on what is the configuration of the array (how the disks are used, some RAID etc).

Now problem is the server broke (XSCF unit failure) and I need to access the files on the J4200 storage array. Is there any way I can do this? What would be the needed steps? Or are the files lost, as I don't have details on the array configuration?

(...the files have been backed up to a simple Linux based backup client...but as we had a major malfuntion, the backup client also has failed)

Thanks for any help,
Jh.

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris  invokes  the  Solaris  Install  program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

           Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

           Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

           Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

           Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

           Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

           Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.
