PC Server 500 - Deleting a disk array
Applicable to: World-Wide
Deleting a Disk Array
The last array created must be the first deleted.
Warning
All the data and programs in the array are lost during this procedure. Before proceeding, back up any data and programs that you want to save.
To delete a disk array:
1. Start the RAID configuration program. See 'Starting the RAID Configuration Program—.
2. Select Create/delete array from the Main Menu.
3. Select Delete disk array from the Create/Delete Array menu. The cursor will be active in the Array list.
4. Review the Date Created column in the Logical Drive list; then press the Up Arrow (½ ) key or the Down Arrow (ƒ ) key to highlight the most recently defined array.
5. Press Del. The Confirm pop-up window appears.
6. If you do not want to delete the array, select No. To delete the array, select Yes.
Note
To use hard disks from the existing array when creating a new array, you must confirm the deletion of the existing array.
If a defective drive is still in a bay, the status shows a blank bay, as though there is no drive in that bay. When you replace the drive, the status will show RDY after you reconfigure and select Yes in the Confirm pop-up window.
Note
In some operating systems, deleting an array and associated logical drives might change the drive letters assigned to the existing drives.
