Resolving Conflicts

W hen a RAID set is created, the metadata written to the disk includes drive connec-
tion 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.
