Yes 7 disks.
I don´t how far the formatting exec went, before the machine hanging.

Sadly to say, but my reality is that the back-up (which was made in a
separate x86 machine) was neglected by the people in charge.
All this happened during the storage migration SHARK to DS8000.

Yes we built a second Linux. But the LVM / partition were not recognized.
Only the disk not managed by the LVM could be mounted.

So, you have seven disks involved. Which disk(s) were formatted?

Key question: Do you have any sort of backups of the disks, and at what
level? (File level or device level) How old are they?

How active were (i.e. How much updating was there on) the disks?

Do you have a second Linux image on which you could mount the disks and
assess the damage?
