WHAT IS RAID? RAID (redundant array of independent disks) technology manages multiple disk drives to enhance I/O performance and provide redundancy in order to withstand the failure of any individual member without loss of data. The following RAID-related terms are used in this manual. Disk Striping (RAID 0): Striping is a performance-oriented, non-redundant data mapping technique. Striping arrays use multiple disks to form a larger virtual disk. Disk Mirroring (RAID 1): Disk mirroring cr

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 o
