4.1.3Changes to RAID Array Configuration

NOTE

To safeguard critical data, backup your system using normal backup procedures before altering device partitions.

Do not alter partitions that contain important data.

When making changes to an existing RAID Array configuration, any existing disk partitions to be changed (or removed) must first be deleted using Windows NT Disk Administrator. After they have been deleted, you may use the RAID Array 410 Manager to create new Stor- agesets (refer to the RAID Array 410 Manager for Windows NT, to make the changes).

To remove disk partitions, run Disk Administrator from within Windows NT by performing the following steps:

1.Select Program Manager

2.Select Administrative Tools

3.Select Disk Administrator

Delete the partitions you intend to change (or remove) by performing the following steps:

1.From Disk Administrator, select (click on) the partition you wish to delete.

2.Pull down the Partition menu.

3.Choose Delete, then continue.

4.Continue selecting and deleting the partitions until you have done so to all the partitions you wish to change.

5.Go back to the Partition pull down menu and click on Commit Changes Now.

6.At this point all the disks you intend to reconfigure have been deleted from Windows NT. You may now reconfigure the RAID Array using the RAID Array 410 Manager as described in the manual RAID Array 410 Manager for Windows NT User’s Guide .
