Deleting An Array - Promise Technology FastTrak TX2000 User Manual

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.
