Please log a service call for themis (VAXserver 3600), AFS server:

	Hostname:	themis
	Type:		VAXserver 3600
	Location:	11-135
	S/N:		WF-85005286
	Problem:	Disk unit #3 (ra90) is offline
	Contact:	Anne Salemme	253-0129

Current state:	- the disk has been dropping offline repeatedly over the
		  past weekend
		- there is now no data on the disk
		- this morning, the system was unusable, because it was
		  repeatedly trying and failing to bring unit 3 online.
		  I booted the system with the disk powered down, so the
		  system is currently running fine, provided file service
		  using the other disks.
		- after booting the system with unit 3 powered down, I
		  was unable to get unit 3 to spin up. It is currently
		  powered down.

I've looked through the logs for July, and I didn't see any indication that
the disk was going to fail. In other words, this is something that happened
suddenly.
