Deleting a Controller

To delete a controller:

1. Select the controller and click Controllers → Delete Controller .

A warning informing that all the attached arrays and disks will be deleted is displayed.

2. Click Yes to delete or No to cancel.

NOTE: At least one controller is required on the server. If there is only one controller and you

delete it, a message is displayed that the default controller was inserted because the last

controller was deleted.

Variable Conditions

To provide the ability to use the same RAID configuration in multiple logical configurations, variable

evaluation is provided so that a different configuration for arrays and logical drives can be applied to

different situations.

Variable condition elements contain arrays and global hot spares, and are of two types:

• No variables defined: This is the default configuration inserted with every controller, and cannot be

removed or moved from last in the order.

• Variables defined: This is where any variable is compared to a value using one of the pre-defined

operators.

NOTE: Dell Lifecycle Controller Integration for ConfigMgr does not support variables created in

an encrypted format.
