Issue

Drives moved from another storage system may retain ownership or storage metadata that prevents them from being added to an ASA system. The drives may appear as unassimilated, or the system may report a failed storage group after the drives are inserted.
Preparing these drives may require Support assistance to remove the remaining metadata and make the drives available for use. This can delay adding storage to the system.
