NOTE

You can only delete drive groups in the reverse

order in which they were arranged. For example if

you create drive groups a, b and c, and arrange

them in that order, then you must delete drive

groups c and b before you can delete drive group

To delete a drive group or logical RAID drive, follow these steps:

1. Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight View/Define Drive Group on

the View/Update Configuration menu and press the Enter key. The Group

Definition menu appears.

press the Enter key. The cursor moves to the drive matrix.

7.3.9 Clearing the RAID Subsystem Configuration

This option provides you with a quick way to delete the existing RAID

configuration when you want to delete it without immediately creating a new

one. You may want to use this option when troubleshooting/debugging your

RAID subsystem. Otherwise, use the New Configuration option, which clears the

configuration and then prompts you to create a new one.

To Clear the configuration, follow these steps:

1. Use your normal procedures to backup the information stored on your array

prior to clearing the configuration.

2. Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the Tools option on the main

menu and press the Enter key. The Tools menu appears.

3. Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the Clear Configuration option

on the Tools menu and press the Enter key.
