7.4.5.1 Preliminary steps
Ê If the HDD/SSD module to be removed is combined into a RAID array,
please proceed as follows:
In order to permanently remove an operational HDD/SSD module that is part
of a RAID array from the server, you first need to delete the array using
ServerView RAID Manager.
V CAUTION!
All data on all HDDs/SSDs in the array will be lost when deleting the
RAID array! Be sure to back up your data before deleting a RAID
array.
For more information, see the "ServerView Suite RAID Management"
user guide.

RAID level Procedure
RAID 0
V CAUTION!
RAID 0 provides no data redundancy.
In case of an HDD/SSD module is defect, all data
are lost!
RAID 1
RAID 5
Removing an HDD/SSD module from a RAID 1 or RAID 5
array will not result in data loss.
However, the removed drive needs to be replaced
immediately by an HDD/SSD module of the same or larger
capacity.
I After replacing the HDD/SSD module, RAID
rebuild will be performed as a background
process, see section "Performing a RAID array
rebuild" on page 99.
