Deleting a Bootable Array

To delete a bootable array:

1.From the Main menu, select Manage Arrays.

2.From the List of Arrays, select the bootable array you want to delete, and press Ctrl+B. (A bootable array is an array marked with an asterisk, as shown in the screenshot above.)

3.Enter Y to delete a bootable array when the following message is displayed: "The array is already marked bootable. Do you want to make this array as not bootable? (Yes/No):" The bootable array will then be deleted and the asterisk will disappear.

Note: do not use the delete key to delete the bootable array.

Initializing Disk Drives

If an installed disk does not appear in the disk selection list for creating a new array or if it appears grayed out, you may have to initialize it before you can use it as part of an array. Drives attached to the controller must be initialized before they can be used in an array.

Caution: Initializing a disk overwrites the partition table on the disk and makes any data on the disk inaccessible. If the drive is used in an array, you may not be able to use the array again.

Do not initialize a disk that is part of a boot array. To determine which disks are associated with a particular array, please refer to Viewing Array Properties.

To initialize drives:

1.Turn on your computer and press Ctrl+A when prompted to access the ARC utility.

2.From the ARC menu, select the Array Confi guration Utility (ACU).

3.Select Initialize Drives (as shown in the next screenshot).
