Purpose
Make a physical disk previously
used
in another RAID card controller available for use in the appliance.
When a previously used disk is inserted into the appliance, it might
be recognized by the RAID controller as a foreign disk. This command
will make the disk usable by the RAID controller and automatically
start the rebuilding process for the disk into the RAID array.
Syntax
raid re-use
Parameters
None.
Usage
Notes
- The old data on the physical disk will be lost.
- This command will clear the foreign state of a used physical
disk
and also trigger the rebuilding process. After the building process
completes, the physical disk will transition online.
- This
command works for only one physical disk. If more than one
foreign physical disk is inserted at a time, the command will not
be able to make them into a RAID configuration.
Example
Clean used physical disk foreign state
and start rebuilding.
