IMPORTANT:

restored.

configure the array is displayed.
To delete an array:
1.
Select the array you wish to delete and press Delete.
2.
Select [Delete] on [Array Properties] dialog box and press Enter.
The confirmation prompt is displayed.
NOTE:
3.
Press Y to delete the array or partition or N to return to the previous menu.
4.
Press Esc to return to the previous menu.
Initializing Hard Disk Drive
Hard disk drives must be initialized before they can be used as RAID drive. (An uninitialized disk
does not appear in the disk selection list for creating a new array or it appears grayed out.)
IMPORTANT:
Initializing a disk overwrites the partition table on the disk and
makes any data on the disk inaccessible.
If the drive that has been used in an array is initialized, you may not
be able to return the disk to the original array again.
Do not initialize a disk that is part of a boot array. The system will
fail to start.
Back up the data on an array before you delete it.
The number and contents depends on RAID level.
