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" on page 77). 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. Attention: 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" on page 116 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" on page 197 and "Changing Device States" on page 116 for instructions.) 6. Select Exit or press Esc to return to the Main Menu. 7.
