PS5000 stuck cancelling vacate
I have an array that was being decommissioned from production and re-purposed to a test environment. I removed it from the storage pool and... waited. Then I waited. Then I realized it had stalled for whatever reason. There were no network issues and the remaining member has more then adequate storage.
Regardless, I decided to cancel the process and approach it from a different angle. I cancelled the process only to find that it then stalled at 0% while "cancelling". I received advice from a fellow admin that I should leave it as it could take quite a bit of time. That was several months ago and I can safely assume that this isn't expected behavior.
I'm deathly scared that I'll lose data if I don't approach this properly and these arrays are running critical systems. Can anyone provide any insight or advice? I'm unsure of where to turn or how to proceed.

If I had another array with the right firmware version, would that SD card image work?
I can't thank you enough for the insights and direction you've provided.

Hello,
Yes. As long as it is the same exact version down to the patch or hotfix level.
I.e. 7.1.4 and 7.1.4-H1 are NOT the same.
So you can image up that SD and rewrite the passive CM SD card.
There is nothing configuration related saved on the SD card.
I am very happy to help you out.
Regards,
Don
