Deleting a RAID Volume

NOTE: While this procedure deletes the RAID 1 volume, it also splits the RAID 1 volume into two non- RAID hard drives with a partition, and leaves any existing data files intact. Deleting a RAID 0 volume, however, destroys all data on the volume.

1Click the Start button and point to Programs→ Intel(R) Application Accelerator→ Intel Matrix Storage Manager to launch the Intel® Storage Utility.

2Right-click the Volume icon of the RAID volume you want to delete, and select Delete Volume.

3On the Delete RAID Volume Wizard screen, click Next.

4Highlight the RAID volume you want to delete in the Available box, click the right-arrow button to move the highlighted RAID volume into the Selected box, and then click Next.

5Click Finish to delete the volume.

Migrating to a RAID Level 0 Configuration

1Set your computer to RAID-enabled mode (see page 30).

2Click the Start button and point to All Programs→ Intel(R) Application Accelerator→ Intel Matrix Storage Manager to launch the Intel® Storage Utility.

NOTE: If you do not see an Actions menu option, you have not yet set your computer to RAID-enabled mode (see page 30).

3On the Actions menu, select Create RAID Volume From Existing Hard Drive to launch the Migration Wizard.

4Click Next on the Migration Wizard screen.

5Enter a RAID volume name or accept the default.

6From the drop-down box, select RAID 0 as the RAID level.

NOTE: Select the strip size closest to the size of the average file you want to store on the RAID volume. If you do not know the average file size, choose 128 KB as your strip size.

7Select the appropriate strip size from the drop-down box, and then click Next.
