Dialog Box Error Messages

DiskSuite displays the following messages in Error dialog boxes. When these messages are displayed, the only choice on the dialog box is OK. The action you attempted will not be performed. Use the information here to correct the error.

A RAID can only have one operation that causes a resync per commit

You have tried to commit two separate changes to a RAID device at the same time. While the changes may be valid, only one can be performed at a time.

Your attempt to change the name of Hot Spare Pool hspnnn
to hspnnn failed for the following reason:

You cannot change the hot spare pool for a RAID device while it
is initializing.

You tried to change the current hot spare pool for a RAID5 metadevice during its initialization. Wait for the initialization to complete before attempting to change the hot spare pool again.

The RAID device has failed to initialize. It cannot be repaired
and should be deleted.

There was an error when trying to initialize the RAID5 metadevice. The only recourse left is to delete the device and recreate it, after repairing any errored slices.

A slice in a created stripe may not be replaced unless the stripe
is part of a submirror with redundancy.

You can only replace a slices if data redundancy exists.

A slice in a stripe may not be enabled unless the stripe is part
of a submirror with redundancy.

You can only enable slices if data redundancy exists.

You cannot delete a mounted trans device that has an attached
logging device.

To delete a trans metadevice, first detach the logging device.
