Deleting an Array

The Delete Array (4) Menu option allows for deletion of disk array assignments. This is not the same as deleting data from the drives themselves.

Important

If you delete an array by accident, immediately define a new array identical to one you deleted. This action normally recovers the deleted array.

Warning

Deleting an existing disk array could result in its data loss. Make sure to record all array information including the array type, the disk members, and stripe block size in case you wish to undo a deletion.
