Deleting An Array
“Delete Array <4>” menu allows you to delete disk array assignments. This is not the same
as deleting data from the drives themselves. If you deleted an array by accident (and before
it has been used again), the array can normally be recovered by defining the array identical
to the deleted array.
WARNING: Deleting an existing disk array could result in its data loss. Make
sure to record all array information including the array type, the disk members,
and stripe block size in case you wish to undo a deletion.
