Use
this action to delete all arrays on the specified controller.
For some operating systems, deleting an array and its associated logical drives
might change the drive-letter assignments of the remaining drives when you
restart the system.
Attention: If you delete all arrays associated with the controller, all data on the
controller is destroyed.
1. In the Enterprise view, click
(controller).
Attention: Before proceeding, ensure that you have backed up any data and
programs that you want to save.
2. Right-click Delete all arrays.
3. Click Yes to confirm the delete.
Replacing
physical drives in an array: If you have an array built with one or more
physical drives that are not the same size, or you simply want to upgrade the
array with new, larger drives, you can replace the physical drives in the array.
Attention: During the rebuild operation, if another physical drive fails, there is
the risk of losing data.
1. Replace the physical drive in the server or enclosure with a larger physical
drive.
2. Wait for the rebuild to complete.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you have replaced all the smaller physical drives in
the array.
