Resolving Conflict
When a RAID set is created, the metadata written to the disk includes drive con-
nection information including the channel on the host adapter to which it is
connected. 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 correct this,
select “Resolve Conflict” and the correct metadata, including the correct drive
connection information; will automatically be written to the replacement disk.
1. Select “Resolve Conflicts” and press Enter.
2. Select the “Conflict” entry in the Logical Drive Status window and press Enter.
