Re: metadata stored on EVA?

Hi,
Mmmm - Metadata is a bit more complicated than specified here as there is metadata on ALL disks in an EVA if the physical disk is in a disk group.
Quorum metadata is just one bit.
I'm sure it will be in here somewhere if you search under EVA metadata or similar.

Re: metadata stored on EVA?

whew, this thread is getting confusing ;-) all disks in EVA have metadata. 5 disks in first (default) dg are ALSO quorum disks. each new disk group will get a quorum disk and one will be removed from the default dg until all groups have one quorum. You can use Command View to flash the Quorum disks if you have the engineer service manual. And yes the persona of an EVA can be transferred to another EVA but only if the disk is moved while it is switched off, then when it powers up it will ask which one it is. All metadata and quorum data is scrubbed from the disk if you use the "remove" option in CV before pulling it.
