SSD is not removed successfully from the cache pool

While creating a cache area, the SSD is placed in the cache pool. If the operation fails, then SmartIO should remove the SSD from the cache pool to allow the user to retry creating cache area with the SSD. But if this issue occurs, then the SSD is not removed properly from the cache pool, and hence it cannot be added to the cache area.

Similarly, if a cache area is deleted, SmartIO should remove the SSD in the cache area from the cache pool. Now if the operation fails, the SSD is not removed successfully from the cache pool.

Workaround: Run the following command to remove the SSD from the cache pool:

vxdg -gcachepool -f rmdisk <diskname>
