Deleting An Array

The Delete Array <4> Menu option allows for deletion of disk array assignments. This is not the

same as deleting data from the drives themselves. If you delete an array by accident (and

before it has been used again), the array can normally be recovered by defining the array

identically as 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.
