3.5. 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.
