Clear Disk-Metadata - HP 2000fc Cli Reference Manual

clear disk-metadata

Description
Clears metadata from "leftover" disk drives. Each disk drive contains metadata that
the system uses to identify the drive's owning virtual disk, if any. If the system
cannot locate the virtual disk, as when the drive has been moved to a different
system, the owning virtual disk is shown as Leftover. You must clear the metadata
before you can use the drive in a different virtual disk or as a spare.
If you specify a disk drive that is not available or a leftover, the command will not
clear that drive's metadata.
Input
