My Drobo went down in the sense that the connection to the Mac could not be made. The Drobo is connected directly to the Mac Pro by ethernet. i spent a happy couple of hours playing with the software end, my firewall settings, setting up the Drobo on another computer ... it worked with a firewire connection but not ethernet.
So I then did what I should have done previously and checked the ethernet cable. I have never had an ethernet cable go bad on me before (connecters yes, but they were OK). But on this occasion that was the problem.
i probably learnt something, but I don't know what.
Anyway, the moral is always check your cables if the obvious things fail.
