When a disk cache error is displayed, a first step to take is bringing down the disk and bringing
it back up; to do, first find cache names, then act on the problem cache:
show media-cache disk list
media-cache disk <cache_name> status inactive
media-cache disk <cache_name> status active
media-cache disk <cache_name> enable

Replacing Bad Disks

In order to replace a bad disk, first disable and inactivate the disk, and then add a new disk.
This procedure uses dc_bad for the disk name; replace appropriately.
1. Discover the bad disk's name.
show media disk list
2. Disable the bad disk by name.
media-cache disk dc_bad cache disable
3. Make the bad disk inactive.
media-cache disk dc_bad status inactive
4. Pull the drive, put in a new drive and mount the new disk.
media-cache disk mount-new
5. Find the inactive disk's name.
show media-cache disk list
6. Activate the new disk.
media-cache disk dc_new status active
7. Format the new disk; takes approximately five minutes.
media-cache disk dc_new format
8. Enable the new disk.
media-cache disk dc_new cache enable
