Clear disk drive metadata on HP P6300 EVA

[IS.Danil]

Hi,

I had moved eight disk drives from one storage HP P6300 to another HP P6300 and I didn't ungroup them on the first array.

Now I have access only to the second array and it dosn't work, I can't to initialise it.

How can I clear metada on these drives?

You should be able to group these disks manually to the current EVA. There is no requirement of clearing metadata for using the disk like this.

I cann't do this, because these disk were not ungrouped on the first storage array

What is the status of the disks now in command view?

I can only imagine, that the target EVA has only those 8 disks contain some quorum information. Does the array boot up with the identity of the source array? If this is the case, you need to un-initialize the destination array. If this is not possible, support might help with an option located on the fieldservice page.
