Can't Create Filesystem using Oracle VM CLI interface.

David R.Nov 9 2022

Background...I have 6 local disks installed in my OVS. Five of those disks are red drives which were recently removed from a "no longer working" Synology server. The 6th disk ( 256 Gb SSD) has the OVS software installed.

The Issue...
I am trying to create filesystems so I can utilize the red drives for storage, but I keep getting the following error.
OVM> create filesystem name=sda physicaldisk="350014ee2b57f6c99" on fileserver id=0004fb000009000032e0f6e3faa380ff
Command: create filesystem name=sda physicaldisk="350014ee2b57f6c99" on fileserver id=0004fb000009000032e0f6e3faa380ff
Status: Failure
Time: 2022-11-09 13:28:11,978 AST
JobId: 1668014856286
Error Msg: Job failed on Core: Local FS ovs1.*.** <747> is locked. job info: job id(time):1668010662142 name:Create File System: sda on File Server: Local FS ovs1.*.** description:Create File System: sda on File Server: Local FS ovs1.*****.**
I have also tried using the GUI to create a repository, but that runs forever and doesn't seem to go anywhere.
If anyone can shed some light on this issue, it would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
David
