You cannot use disks with recognized partitions for the array.
This prevents you from accidentally erasing the server's boot
disk or deleting data from a disk. To find out if a disk has a
partition, right-click the
Configuration window, and select Check Partition from the
drop-down menu. A small pop-up box displays whether the
selected disk has a partition and whether the partition is
visible to the operating system. To use a disk with a recognized
partition in the array, exit from Adaptec CI/O Management
Software, back up any data you want to keep, and delete the
partition from the disk.
Caution:
All data on a disk is deleted when it becomes an
!
array member! Back up any data you want to keep
before selecting a disk as an array member.
