Deleting a variable condition
1. Select the variable condition and click Variables > Delete Variable Condition.
A message that all the attached arrays and disks are deleted is displayed.
2. Click Yes to delete or No to cancel.
Arrays
Array nodes include both RAID arrays and non-RAID disk groups (indicated by the different icons for RAID
arrays and non-RAID disks). By default, a non-RAID disk group is created when a controller is created. If
the controller configuration specifies the number of disks required, then the same number of disks are
added to the non-RAID group.
• Arrays are added, modified or deleted depending on the controller configuration and number of disks
available.
• Array elements contain logical drives and physical disks.
Adding a new array
To add a new array under a variable condition:
1. Select a variable condition and click Arrays > New Array.
The Array Settings window is displayed.
2. Set the required RAID level from the Desired RAID Level drop-down menu.
3. Click OK to apply the array, or Cancel to return to the Array Builder.

2. Click OK to apply the changes or Cancel to return to the Array Builder.
Deleting an array
1. Select the array and click Arrays > Delete Array.
A message that all the attached disks will be deleted is displayed.
2. Click Yes to delete or No to cancel.
Logical drives (also known as virtual disks)
Logical drives are present on RAID arrays and non-RAID groups. While configuring the logical drives you
can allocate a specific size (in GB) or allocate all the available (or remaining) space in the array to them.
By default, a single logical drive is created for all new arrays and is set to use all the available space.
When specific-size logical drives are defined, the using all remaining space logical drive will consume
any remaining space after other logical drive(s) are allocated their space on the array.
NOTE: Array Builder does not support creating logical drives under Non-RAID groups.
NOTE: You cannot delete a logical drive under Non-RAID disks in Array Builder.
