Hi, After deleting from the database you would need to restart again. But you would also have to delete the other disks from the same pool and also the tapes which were configured in the pool. This is because the pool is no longer usable.
When the master disk is lost, the entire pool is unable. When any other disk in a pool is lost, then some tapes will still be usable till a point when the data on tape is on the disk which was lost As root user echo "select groupid from storagegroup where name='AA'" | /quadstorvtl/pgsql/bin/psql -U vtdbuser qsdb Replace AA with the poolname. This will list the groupid which is a unique id assigned to the pool echo "select * from physstor where groupid='GROUPID'" | /quadstorvtl/pgsql/bin/psql -U vtdbuser qsdb Replace GROUPID with the groupid. The first column is the bid for the other disks. On the bids can be listed by echo "select bid from physstor where groupid='GROUPID'" | /quadstorvtl/pgsql/bin/psql -U vtdbuser qsdb Now echo "delete from physstor where bid='BID'" | /quadstorvtl/pgsql/bin/psql -U vtdbuser qsdb Replace BID with each BID listed for the pool Reboot The pools should now be empty and all the disks will show up with an "Add" link in the "Physical Storage" page. Clear the first 32MB of the disks which were deleted manually from the database dd if=/dev/zero of=<disk path> bs=1M count=32 oflag=direct The above command should clear older metadata on disk which would otherwise prevent adding back the disk to a pool again. Please double check every command before executing them.
