MSA 1060 Virtual Pool Unreadable

[Mutale]

I am getting this error on my MSA storage:

the virtual pool is offline because directory metadata was unreadable

This started happening after I deleted a pool so that i could reconfigure my volumes. I can see the volume is still available, but I cannot configure any pools.

I serached online and the sugesstion was to update the firmware. I have updated the controllers to the latest firmware, but this has not resolved the issue.

Any help please.

A pool can contain multiple disk groups. For a pool, if the pool contains volumes, the command will prompt for confirmation to delete the volumes. If the reply is yes, the command will unmap and delete all volumes in the pool, and then delete each  disk group in the pool and make all the disks available. If the reply is no, the command will be canceled.

If you delete a quarantined disk group and its missing disks are later found, the group will reappear as quarantined or offline and you must delete it again (to clear those disks).

Hope this helps!
