Avid ISIS System Directory Control Panel
Cost eh Create Active File System From Import option and point it at a copy of that older Dump.bin file? Would that work? I mean it's only 68,256 KB as compared to the Partition0 and Partition1 files that are both 1,392,655 KB. But those files keep updating their time stamp as long as the System Director is running.

Only a 2 hour time difference.As for the Partition0 and Partition1 filesOn the expansion chassis they date from 2013.On the primary they are current to like literally thin minute. I'm guessing there isn't like a automatic back up of them somewhere.

The BIOS battery is probably dead and reverted to a noncurrent date & time. Check both chassis and reboot.Second, check the folder: D:\Program Files\Avid\ISIS System Director\There should be 2 files labeled "Partion0" and "Partion1". Check the modified time and date. It should be the day the ISIS was shut down from the facility.On Wed, Feb 10, 2021 at 8:23 PM Jay Mahavier via groups.io <jay_mahavier=icloud.com@groups.io> wrote:I would believe that these are the correct chassis and drives. They just boxed all the gear up and shipped it 'as is' is my understanding. But I can't be absolutely positive because I never saw the ISSI system in it's previous installation. We also got a Nexis from them and it's working fine.

When I go into the Management Console and go to the Storage Manager section both storage managers [primary and expansion] are showing as 'orphaned'. I have found plenty of documentation on how to remove those orphaned storage managers but it will wipe all the data. What I can't find is info on how to recover the orphaned storage managers and rebind them to the system and get them back online. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place? Maybe it can't be done? Not sure. Looking for suggestions.
