When we first implemented Lustre, I had several learning curves with 
OSTs going down, drives failing... Eventually we settled on backing up 
the Lustre filesystem to a backup array in the case a OST would fail. It 
does take some work, but we find that rebuilding Lustre after an OST 
failure works for us.
