3.6.2.2 Delete Raid Set
To erase and recongure a RAID set completely, you must
delete it and re-create the RAID set rst. To delete a RAID set,
select the RAID set number that user want to delete in the “Se-
lect Raid Set to Delete” screen. The “Delete Raid Set” dialog box
appears, then press Yes key to delete it. Warning, data on RAID
set will be lost if this option is used.
3.6.2.3 Expand Raid Set
Instead of deleting a RAID set and recreating it with additional
disk drives, the “Expand Raid Set” function allows the users to
add disk drives to the RAID set that have already been created.
To expand a RAID set: Select the “Expand Raid Set” option. If
there is an available disk, then the “Select SATA Drives For Raid
Set Expansion” screen appears.
Select the target RAID set by clicking on the appropriate radio
button. Select the target disk by clicking on the appropriate
check box.
Press the Yes option to start the expansion on the RAID set.
The new additional capacity can be utilized by one or more vol-
ume sets. The volume sets associated with this RAID set appear
for you to have chance to modify RAID level or stripe size.
Follow the instruction presented in the “Modify Volume Set ” to
modify the volume sets; operation system specic utilities may
be required to expand operating system partitions.
Note:
1. Once the “Expand Raid Set” process has started, user
cannot stop it. The process must be completed.

tion state is displayed in the RAID state area of the “Raid Set
Information” screen when a disk is being added to a RAID set.
