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. 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.
