******************************************
I am able to bring the luns online, but it is not creating the System Attendant, Information Store, and Disk Resources automatically. Manually creating them doesn’t work either.
If I failback using BCM, everything works except for the mounting of the datastore. I must restore from a SME backup in order to be able to mount the datastore.
