    all other appliace have a similar output, the only difference, this doesn't have a disk pool id. whereas others have the disk pool id same as the name..

  • Hi,

    Try this commands to stop/start puredisk.

    # service puredsik stop

    # service puredisk start

    # reboot ( to restart puredisk machine)
