Raid Introduction Deleting An Array The Delete Array Menu option allows for deletion of disk array assignments. This is not the same as deleting data from the drives themselves. If you delete an array by accident (and before it has been used again), the array can normally be recovered by defining the array identically as the deleted array. WARNING: Deleting an existing disk array could result in its data loss.

Deleting An Array
The Delete Array <4> Menu option allows for deletion of disk array assignments. This is not the
same as deleting data from the drives themselves. If you delete an array by accident (and
before it has been used again), the array can normally be recovered by defining the array
identically as the deleted array.
WARNING
: Deleting an existing disk array could result in its data loss. Make
sure to record all array information including the array type, the disk members,
and stripe block size in case you wish to undo a deletion.
