Hi,

If the disk is already used in other VA or Raid array, it won't be automatically included even you have "auto_include" enabled. It has to be included manually/specifically.

Get the FRU location of the added disk ( which is showing "Previosuly Used" status ) using # armdsp -a -f
Then add the disk using
# armcfg -D -a

If you are using CV , the select the disk and use "Include_disk" option.
