4.9. 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.
