HP P2000 G3 - duplicate vdisks and serial

Hi!

I have a weird issue with a P2000 G3 iscsi san I'm trying to configure for my lab.
I started with an array being quarantined, wich was pretty weird, considering all the drives were still visible and online.


Tried some things, (deleting array, creating new etc).
Now I suddenly got 2 arrays called vd01, and I am unable to delete any of them due to them having the same name.
Oh, and the kicker is, they also have the same unique identifier....
So I am unable to delete it by specifying the serial number for deletion.

Does anyone have any hints/tips to what I can do?
Is it possible to scratch all vdisk config and start over?

@Labworks 

How many drives present in the system?

How many drives you have used for creation of vd01 ?

May be you can insert 1 drive at a time, then delete the vdisk associated with that drive from Command line. That time controller shouldn't detect any other drives so remove other drives little bid except 1. Repeat same process until all drives become AVAIL drives.

Note: I have considered only 1 vdisk named vd01 only present in this system and no data important for you.

 

Hope this helps!

I have 24x 600GB HP SAS drives.
I would have to check, but iirc, I have 10 drives in raid 10 vdisk.
It's supposed to be 2 vdisks of 10 drives raid 10 each, and 4 drives as global hot spares.
I can remove all the drives if that might make things easier to fix?
No data on the drives, as I have not configured it for my vsphere cluster yet.
