Hi, We had an unfortunate "incident" at the datacenter. A tech mistakenly took a 3TB drive and placed it in a machine only needing a 600G disk. Problem is, I need that 3TB for another system.
I know I could just pull the 3TB and put in the 600G and let it rebuild, and that machine will be happy. But I'm unsure of the repercussions on the machine that needs the 3TB. Its been ages since I've put used disks into machines, and I don't think ever with LSI. Will it be marked FOREIGN when it goes in since its already been part of a RAID set elsewhere? Will I have the RAID set on the machine consider the disk as part of the PreservedCacheList and just start rebuilding? Do I have to do something like : ./MegaCli64 -GetPreservedCacheList -a0 Will give target id (Called TID below) ./MegaCli64 -DiscardPreservedCache -LTID -a0 Get the enclosure(ENC) and slot (SLOT) ***NOT TID!!!*** ./MegaCli64 -CfgLdAdd -r0 [ENC:SLOT] -a0 and it'll just start rebuild then? Is there something else that can happen and I do first? How do I "fail" the drive? Would I then do something like MegaCli -PDClear -Start -PhysDrv [E:S] -aN Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Tuc
