You have to dd out to a file the first 200 megs of the lun for diagnostics.

Regardless, Peter you will have to rebuild and restore and recover.

Yup, thats what we did too.  Like I said, we never did figure out how it got 
overwritten.  Problem was our smallest possible LUN size was 17G, thats an 
awful lot of wasted space once you make 3 (or 5) of those.  Of course thin 
provisioning might allow us to work around that eventually, but that seems like 
a technology that isnt well tested in Oracle clusterware.

Anyway, thats kind of OT.  I will be really interested to see if the OP can 
find a cause of the problem.

We have a dedicated disk group for ocr/voting that's just 1GB and doesn't 
contain data files.
It made sense (to me at least...) to separate OCR from other data for later 
database cloning, etc.

Like we could waste all that space.
