Solve Mirror Conflict

When a RAID set is created, then metadata written to the disk
includes drive connection information. 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. If so, this will
prohibit the RAID set from being either created or rebuilt, in order
for the RAID set to function properly, this old metadata must be
first overwritten with the new metadata. To resolve this, from the
main BIOS window select Solve Mirror Conflict, then press
Enter, the correct metadata, including the correct drive

UGT-IS100R Page11



connection information, will be written to the replacement disk.
