Removing a unit allows you to safely remove drives from a controller in order
to move the unit to another controller or to store the drives for safekeeping
purposes. This process is sometimes referred to as "array roaming." Hot swap
carriers are required unless you power down first.
When you remove a unit (in contrast to deleting a unit), information about the
unit remains intact on the drives. This allows the drives to be reassembled into
a unit again on this controller, or if moved to another controller.
Warning:
It is important to remove the unit through software, before removing it
physically. Failure to do so could result in a system crash or hang and may even
corrupt the data and the unit configuration from being reassembled later.
