drives in Array A to Array B. (See "Copying Logical Drives" on page 122.) 4. Physically remove the hard disk drives that contain the copy from the source system; then, install them in the same bays on the target system. Note Ensure that you install the drives in the same bays on the target system that the drives of the source array occupy in the source system. (Remember, the bay number is equal to the SCSI ID of the device + 1.) 5. Using ServerGuide, insert the HardwareGuide CD in the CD-ROM drive and start the server. 6. Using the diskette that contains the backup copy of the source configuration (you created this diskette in step 1 on page 123), restore the configuration to the target system. (See "Restoring the Disk-Array Configuration" on page 127.) Deleting Logical Drives and Disk Arrays: This section contains instructions for deleting logical drives and disk arrays. In all cases, when you delete an array or its associated logical drives, all the data and programs in the array are lost. Before proceeding, back up any data and programs that you want to save. You might want to use a high-speed back up device, such as a tape drive, to back up large amounts of data. Deleting Logical Drives: In some operating systems, deleting a logical drive might change the drive letters assigned to the existing logical drives. To delete a logical drive: 1. Start the ServeRAID Configuration program (see "Starting the ServeRAID Configuration Program" on page 77). 2. Select Create/Delete/Copy Log Drive from the Main Menu; then, press Enter. 3. Select Delete Logical Drive from the next menu; then, press Enter. 4. Use the Up Arrow (↑) or Down Arrow (↓) key to highlight the logical drive that you want to delete; then, press the Del key. The Confirm pop-up window appears. Attention All data and programs in the logical drive are lost during this procedure. Before proceeding, back up any data and programs that you want to save. 5. Select Yes to delete the logical drive, or select No if you do not want to delete the drive; then, press Enter. 124 Netfinity Server HMM

(See “Copying Logical
Drives” on page
122.)
4.
Physically remove the hard disk drives that contain
the copy from the source system; then, install them in
the same bays on the target system.
Note
Ensure that you install the drives in the same
bays on the target system that the drives of the
source array occupy in the source system.
(Remember, the bay number is equal to the SCSI
ID of the device
+
1.)
5.
Using ServerGuide, insert the
HardwareGuide
CD in
the CD-ROM drive and start the server.
6.
Using the diskette that contains the backup copy of
the source configuration (you created this diskette in
step 1 on page
123),
restore
the configuration to the
target system.
(See “Restoring the Disk-Array
Configuration” on page
127.)
Deleting Logical Drives and Disk Arrays:
This
section contains instructions for deleting logical drives and
disk arrays.
In all cases, when you delete an array or its
associated logical drives, all the data and programs in the
array are lost.
Before proceeding, back up any data and
programs that you want to save.
You might want to use a
high-speed back up device, such as a tape drive, to back
up large amounts of data.
Deleting Logical Drives:
In some operating systems,
deleting a logical drive might change the drive letters
assigned to the existing logical drives.
To delete a logical drive:
1.
Start the ServeRAID Configuration program (see
“Starting the ServeRAID Configuration Program” on
page 77).
2.
Select
Create/Delete/Copy Log Drive
from the Main
Menu; then, press
Enter.
3.
Select
Delete Logical Drive
from the next menu;
then, press
Enter.
4.
Use the Up Arrow (
) or Down Arrow (
) key to
highlight the logical drive that you want to delete;
then, press the
Del
key. The Confirm pop-up window
appears.
Attention
All data and programs in the logical drive are lost
during this procedure.
Before proceeding, back
up any data and programs that you want to save.
5.
Select
Yes
to delete the logical drive, or select
No
if
you do not want to delete the drive; then, press
Enter.
