If the System Reports a Blank Database
If you set the DBMS FLAG off by issuing the DBMS FLAG 
OFF command, the database is blanked during the next 
system reload. If you entered the command on the active 
plane of a redundant system, both planes are loaded with 
the blank database after a reload.
If both planes have a blank database, restore the database 
from a DATA SAVE backup (see page 128).
If only the inactive plane is blank, the redundant file may be 
corrupted (see page...

Recovering from a Corrupted Hard Disk
To determine whether your hard disk is corrupted, enter 
the following command from the maintenance terminal:
MSS
This command displays the number of soft and hard errors 
on the hard disk. If hard errors are reported your hard disk is 
probably corrupted. Often you can remove hard disk 
corruption by formatting the disk. If not, the hard disk is 
faulty, and you must replace it.
