Deleting An Array
The Delete Array Menu option (4) allows for deletion of a disk array. Do not continue unless
the data on the drives have been backed up, or is no longer important and can be erased.
Make sure to record all array information including the array type, disk members, and stripe
block size in case you wish to undo a deletion.
1. Boot the computer and press the CTRL+A keys to display the FastBuild Utility Main Menu.
2. Press 3 to Delete Array.
3. To delete an array, highlight the Array you wish to delete and press the DELETE key.
4. The Array Definition menu appears showing which drives are assigned to this array.
5. Press
CTRL+Y to confirm Yes to the warning message and continue array deletion.
6. After deleting the array, create a new array using the Auto Setup menu from the
EasyBuild Main Menu outlined in “Creating a Disk Array” on page 10.
CAUTION: If you delete an array by accident, immediately create a new Array with the
exact same array type, disk members, and stripe block size. Instructions for this are listed in
“Creating a Disk Array” on page 10. This action may recover the deleted array.
