98 RAIDCFG
Deleting Virtual Disks
Table 4-7 lists the RAIDCFG options, parameters, and predefined arguments for deleting virtual disks.
NOTE: If you delete a virtual disk on PERC 4/IM on Windows PE, you need to reboot the system.
NOTE: When virtual disks are being created, the RAID controller starts the background initialization operation.
Virutal disks cannot be deleted until this operation completes. This limitation affects mostly PERC 3/Di and
CERC SATA controllers.
