4.7. 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.
