You cannot download this software. If the first five disks are lost, it is impossible to revive this array without emc support, even with emc support it is a major act.

You still couldn't really do it. You would have a 'bootstrap' problem in that the disks in the array have 520 byte blocks, and any image that someone might be able to give you would need to be written in that format...which is pretty much exclusive to a running array...which you don't have.
The vault disks are very much a vital component of any EMC array, and destroying them turned this unit into just a pile of parts.
If this were my problem I would be looking for a reseller, perhaps at the ebay level, who might own a CX-300, or other similar array. that they would part with including vault disks. It really shouldn't cost much more than shipping costs at this point.
