Renumbering A Logical Drive; Deleting A Logical Drive - HP Surestore Disk Array 12h - And FC60 System Administrator Manual

Renumbering a Logical Drive

Renumbering changes the logical drive number assigned to the logical drive by the disk array. The logical
drive number is the means by which the operating system identifies each logical drive. Consequently,
renumbering a logical drive will impact your operating system's ability to access the data on that drive.
You should only consider renumbering a logical drive in specific situations. For example, assume you are
using logical drive 0 as your boot drive, and you later decide you want to boot from a different drive. You
will have to assign the current boot drive a new number, and then renumber the new boot drive to 0.
NOTE! Before renumbering a logical drive, consult your Windows NT documentation for information on
what steps you will have to take to make sure the host can access the new logical drive number.
To renumber a logical drive:
1. Right-click the disk array from the Detail pane.
2. Click Properties.
3. Click the Logical Drives tab.
4. Click the drive you want to renumber.
5. Click Renumber... to display the Renumber Logical Drive window.
6. In the Change to: field, select the new number you want assigned to the logical drive.
7. Click OK.

Deleting a Logical Drive

CAUTION! Deleting a logical drive destroys all data on that logical drive. Before deleting a
logical drive, make sure you backup any data you want to save.
When you delete a logical drive, all data on that logical drive is destroyed and its capacity is returned to the
pool of unallocated capacity on the array.
To delete a logical drive:
1. Right-click the disk array from the Detail pane.
2. Click Properties.
3. Click the Logical Drives tab.
4. Click the drive you want to delete.
