Unlabeling a Device
Use the following procedure to unlabel a disk device.
1After selecting from the Disk Devices box the device you want to unlabel, click Unlabel. A message warns you that the device will be unusable after unlabeling.
Figure 62 Unlabel Warning
2Click OK to close the warning window and proceed, or click Cancel to abort the unlabeling process. If you click OK, a status window appears.
3Click Close when the status displays Success. The Label Disk Device screen now shows the device with no label name.
Note: If you decide later to make an unlabeled device usable by the StorNext File System, you must first relabel the device. The relabeling process is identical to labeling initially, as described in Labeling a Device on page 96.
Probing a Device

1After selecting from the Disk Devices box the device you want to probe, click Probe. The Probe Disk Device Status window appears.
2Click Close when the status displays Success.
Note: The probe should light the disk or RAID.
