Not knowing all the little details, only what is posted here, not being there or talking to him directly, here is my basic evaluation;

Eric, IMO the CMOS idea is reaching in this case, but -IS- possible and is worth a shot.

As David said, there may be hardware damage, but it doesn't sound like it from what I see here.

My best guess, it has a scrambled GOS. If trying to boot from each drive, one at a time, being the only drive in the unit, doesn't work, then it is scrambled across all the drives and will need a seed drive to re-install. This is not uncommon for power failures with these units.

As for the array, if I read all this correctly on what was done while troubleshooting, the array got killed by the operator and is done for. Bye bye data, sorry.

Recovery will require wiping the drives and then using a GOS seed drive to get the GOS back on the unit.
