3.5. Resolving Conflict
When a RAID set is created, the metadata written to the disk includes drive
connection information (Primary and Secondary). If, after a disk failure, the
replacement disk was previously part of a RAID set (or used in another system), it
may have conflicting metadata, specifically in reference to the drive
connection information. If so, this will prohibit the RAID set from being
either created or rebuilt, In order for the RAID set to function properly, this old
metadata must be first overwritten with the new metadata. To resolve this,
select
Resolve Conflicts
, and the correct metadata, including the correct drive
connection information, will be written to the replacement disk.
