Yes and no. For the purpose of this discussion, it may be better to say "yes" though.

> That would imply that the server actually started, is that the case?

Yes. The database server's files were not damaged.

> What happened if you connected to another database in the cluster?

That's irrelevant. That said, some were damaged and some not.

Kind regards,

Tomas
