Resolving Conflicts 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.
your system starts up. If the BIOS doesn’t show, please try your controller in another PCI slot. During this (POST) process, the BIOS will show up and indicate the devices attached to it.
