Deleting a Controller

A warning message that all the attached arrays and disks are deleted is displayed.
2. Click Yes to delete or No to cancel.
NOTE: On a server, you require at least one controller. If there is only one controller and you
delete it, then a message that the default controller was inserted because the last controller was
deleted is displayed.
Variable Conditions
To provide the ability to use the same hardware configuration in multiple logical configurations, variable
evaluation is provided so that you can apply different configuration for arrays and logical drives 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 you cannot
remove or move it from last in the order.
• Variables defined: This is where any variable is compared to a value using one of the pre-defined
operators.
