We had a server lose its hard drives and this is how we
got it back.

1. Replaced the defective drives.

2. Installed Netware back on the server and put it in
its own dummy tree (I believe we kept the server name
the same (there is a Novell TID on this))

3. Restored server pecific info from ADSM

4. Removed DS and installed DS using SERVDATA.NDS

5. Restored data to the other volumes

This way seemed easier than trying to have the
SERVDATA.NDS file when doing the re-install of Netware.
It is also quicker if you need to get the server back up
quickly.
