VNX5200 BLOCK SYSTEM Unable to create storage pools or luns
Hi all,
I am trying to reuse VNX5200 block system due to training and testing componentes purposes. I received it with some offline luns I was not able to delete with Unisphere.
I was checking that tools like fbecli helps to force luns and raid groups deletion with commands like "ub -lun X" and "removerg -rg X". I successfully delete all offline luns and raid groups and now have dissapeared from Unisphere but If I try to create a new pool or LUN I have these error messages.
Seems I have to do something else to definitelly clear all configuration because Unisphere still see something set. Could someone help at this point?.

Hello jtejada.ralco,
What is your current OE version of your VNX5200? How many disk are in your VNX5200 system?

One of the KB's says I have to wait 7 days. Could the cabinet be offline or we have to maintain the system on? as this is for lab purposes I don't want to maintain it turned on if not needed.
I will wait these 7 days to check again if we can create new Pool LUNs.
Thank you,
