Snap Server Help (Linux Guru Please)

Hi I have a Snap Server 4500 yes i know it's old.
It's currently booting to it's recovery page accessed via http

no users can access the shared data on it.
it's has 4x IDE 250Gb drives in it, not sure what RAID config is but I think it has two mirrors one for the live data and the other for backup of the live data.

It's a Gaurdian OS so based on linux and a xfs file system.
basicly i need to run the xfs_repair command on it.
but for one i have no idea of the full command needed as i have taken the below from KB article from the snapservers website

Enter "xfs_repair /dev/volgr(v)/lvol(n)"--where (v) is the number of the problem volume group and (n) is the number of the problem logical volume--at the prompt and execute. This command will go through 7 phases until it is complete.

The bit i dont understand is what do I put in where the V and N is? well in fact how do i find out what they are called on my snap server?

BTW im accessing the server via the RS232 console cable using hyper terminal so it's all command based.

Any help would be great!
Thanks in advance
