I got curious about "Mylex" having never seen those contraptions. Google
lead me to a few goodies:

Odwillia,

The Mylex raid controllers were at one time an affordable entry level
raid solution. They had some quirks.

It's possible that your storage shelves lost power. This would cause the
controller to mark all disks as bad. One option, before resorting to
tape restore, is to power down the Alpha server, power down the disk,
restore power to the disk, wait for all disk to spin up, and restore
power to the Alpha.

You can also boot the Alphabios and run the Mylex configuration utility.
This will allow you to mark a device as good. This is a console
operation, preferably from a graphic console.

If these options don't work, your controller may have failed. If you've
saved the disk configuration to a floppy disk, a replacement controller
can be configured easily.
