Operating System Behavior for Attached Partitions
When partitions are attached and the host operating system is Windows, the
drive letters that is assigned to the attached partitions are controlled by the
operating system.
If a partition is read-only, it will read-only as seen in the host operating
system.
If the host operating system does not support the file system of an attached
partition, you cannot read or modify the contents of the partition from the
host operating system. For example, partition type EXT2 cannot be read from
Windows operating system.
When you change the label name of an attached partition from the host
operating system, it does not impact the label name stored by iDRAC for that
partition.

Before deleting existing parition(s), ensure the following:
• The card is enabled.
