How FastTrak 376 Orders Arrays
During startup, the disk arrays on the FastTrak 376 are recognized in this
order: 1) The array set to bootable in the FastBuild ™ Setup, and 2) the Array
number (i.e. Array 0, Array 1...). This would be involved in determining which
drive letters will be assigned to each disk array.
How FastTrak 376 Saves Array Information
All disk array data is saved into the reserved sector on each array member.
Promise suggests that users record their disk array information for future
reference.
Another feature of the FastTrak 376 disk array system is to recognize drive
members even if drives are moved between different FastTrak 376 controller
connectors. Since each drive's array data identifies itself to the array, it is
possible to move or swap drives without modifying the array setup. This is
valuable when adding drives, or during a rebuild.

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. If
you delete an array by accident (and before it has been used again), the array can
normally be recovered by defining the array identically as 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.
