I originally had a 320GB cache drive, and wanted to replace this with a 2 x 250GB cache pool instead

 

Instead of adding the 2 new disks, mounting the old cache drive in unallocated devices and then copying the cache drive contents, I thought that I'd be clever but it has backfired on me.

 

To the orginal cache drive, I stopped the array and added a 250GB additional cache drive & the array balanced automatically. This showed a cache pool of 2 drives

 

I then added a third cache drive, selected 3 slots, cache drives autobalanced again. This showed a cache pool of 3 drives

 

I then powered down the array, removed the orginal cache drive. The array balanced the cache pool to two drives. This shows a cache pool of 2 drives

 

However the orginal cache drive is listed as disk not installed, with the array showing 3 slots have been selected (there is no option to choose 2 slots). I had hoped that after the original cache drive had been removed and the remaining 2 drives balanced, that it would reduce the number of slots to 2

 

At the moment I have

 

Cache    Not Installed

Cache1    250GB

Cache2    250GB

 

How do I delete the record, and slot, of the original cache disk?

 

I am running 6.2b23

 

 

 

You can reassign the cache disks to the first 2 slots and then change the number of slots to 2.

Thank you, that was easy once I realised what you mean't

 

I must of had a brain fart, or more likely need to go to bed - it's 23:51PM in the UK!
