Caution - Before deleting an array, be sure to back up all data on the array that you want to keep. |
Follow these steps to delete a selected array.
After a pause, the firmware deletes the array.
Note - Once a volume has been deleted, it cannot be recovered. When a RAID 1 volume is deleted, the data is preserved on the primary disk. The master boot records (MBR) of other disks in the array are deleted. For other RAID types, the master boot records of all disks are deleted.
There are several ways to physically locate a disk drive, as long as the firmware is correctly configured and the drives support disk location.
During RAID creation, when a disk is set to Yes as part of a RAID volume, its Locate LED is enabled. When it is set back to No or the RAID volume is created, the Locate LED is disabled.
Disks can also be located from the SAS Topology screen. To locate a disk, move the cursor to the disk and press Enter. The Locate LED on the disk remains activate until the next key is pressed.
