Note: The properties of a physical disk can not be edited.
MSU uses different icons to indicate the status of the physical disk. For more information,
see Appendix C, Icons used in MSU.
3.4.2 Erasing RAID Configuration Data on Foreign Physical Disk
This section describes the procedure to erase RAID configuration data (if any) on a foreign
physical disk.
Note: The RAID controller stores RAID configuration data on all physical disks that are part of a virtual
disk. RAID configuration data must be erased on the physical disk before it can be used with another
virtual disk.
