Clearing disk metadata

You can clear metadata from a leftover disk to make it available for use.

CAUTION:Only use this command when all disk groups are online and leftover disks exist. Improper use of this command may result in data loss. Do not use this command when a disk group is offline and one or more leftover disks exist. If you are uncertain whether to use this command, contact technical support for assistance.
Each disk in a disk group has metadata that identifies the owning disk group, the other disks in the disk group, and the last time data was written to the virtual pool or linear disk group. The following situations cause a disk to become a leftover:
  • The disks' timestamps do not match so the system designates members having an older timestamp as leftovers.
  • A disk is not detected during a rescan, then is subsequently detected.
  • A disk that is a member of a disk group in another system is moved into this system without the other members of its group.
When a disk becomes a leftover, the following changes occur:
  • The disk's health becomes Degraded and its usage value becomes LEFTOVR.
  • The disk is automatically excluded from the disk group, causing the disk group's health to become Degraded or Fault, depending on the RAID level.
  • The disk's fault LED is illuminated amber.

If a spare is available, and the health of the disk group is Degraded or Critical, the disk group will use them to start reconstruction. When reconstruction is complete, you can clear the leftover disk's metadata. Clearing the metadata will change the disk's health to OK and its usage value to AVAIL. The disk may become available for use in a new disk group.

NOTE:If a spare is not available to begin reconstruction, or reconstruction has not completed, keep the leftover disk so that you will have an opportunity to recover its data.

This command clears metadata from leftover disks only. If you specify disks that are not leftovers, the disks are not changed.
