Deleting Disk Arrays

Deleting Disk Arrays

Deleting a disk array deletes all logical drives that are defined in that disk array. All data and programs are lost once you perform the procedure.

To delete a disk array:

1.  Start the ServeRAID Configuration program (see 'Starting the ServeRAID Configuration Program').
2.  Select Create/Delete/Copy Log Drive from the Main  Menu, then, press Enter.
3.  Select Delete Disk Array from the next menu, then,  press Enter.
4.  Use the Up Arrow (  ) or Down Arrow (  ) key to  highlight the array that you want to delete, then, press  the Del key. The Confirm pop-up window appears.

     All data and programs in the array are lost during this  procedure.
    Before proceeding, back up any data and  programs that you want to save.

5.  Select Yes to delete the array, or select No if you do  not want to delete the array, then, press Enter.
    If you delete an array of Online (ONL) drives, the  state of the ONL drives changes to Ready (RDY). If  the array contains a defunct drive (DDD), the state of  the DDD drive changes to defunct hot spare (DHS).  You can reset the drive state as follows:
   •  If the drive is good, change the device state from  DHS to HSP, then, select the drive again and  change the device state from HSP to RDY. (See 'Changing Device States' for  instructions.)
   •  If the drive is defective, physically replace it with  a good drive, then, set the state for the new  drive to RDY. (See 'Internal Drive Installation'  and 'Changing Device States' for instructions.)

6.  Select Exit or press Esc to return to the Main Menu.
7.  Back up the disk-array configuration information to  diskette. See 'Backing Up the Disk-Array Configuration' for instructions.
