Each disk has metadata that identifies whether the disk is a member of a vdisk, and identifies other members of that vdisk. If a disk’s metadata says the disk is a member of a vdisk but other members’ metadata say the disk isn’t a member, the disk becomes a leftover. The system overview and enclosure overview pages show the disk’s How Used value as LEFTOVR. A leftover disk’s Fault/UID LED is illuminated amber.
Before you can use the disk in a new vdisk or as a spare, you must clear the disk’s metadata.
To Clear meta data from leftover disks
1. In the Configuration View panel, right-click the system and then select Tools > Clear Disk Metadata.
2. In the main panel, select disks to clear metadata from.
3. Click Clear Metadata. When processing is complete a success dialog appears.
Re-Join Physical Disk to VDisk RAID
1. In the HP MSA Storage Managment Utility, right click on the affected vdisk and select Configuration > Manage Dedicated Spares
2. Your disk should appear in the list of available drives with a state of AVAIL. Tick the drive, then click the Modify Spares button.
3. The disk will be re-joined to the array. Initially it may be listed as a spare, but the MSA will automatically re-join the disk as an active member of the RAID if this is how it was originally configured.
4. The array will begin the Reconstruction process automatically. This can take a very long time depending on the size of your drives.
