Please note the following:
•
You cannot delete a logical drive during a reconstruction. Also, you
cannot delete a logical drive during a rebuild, initialization, or check
consistency of a logical drive, if that drive has a higher logical drive
number than the drive you want to delete. You must wait until these
processes have completed before deleting the logical drive.
•
Drive size extension is not possible, even though you can use non-
contiguous free space to create a new logical drive.
•
You cannot move an existing logical drive to another area to protect
it from defragmentation caused by random deletion.
The MegaRAID Configuration Software User's Guide has detailed
procedures for deleting logical drives.
The MegaRAID Serial ATA storage adapters support several major
operating systems. LSI Logic provides device drivers and RAID
management tools for operating systems on the Universal Driver Suite
CD that accompanies the SATA boards.
In addition, you can download the latest drivers and software from the
LSI Logic web site: http://www.lsilogic.com. Access the download center
and follow the steps to download the driver.
Refer to the MegaRAID Device Driver Installation User's Guide on the
Universal Driver Suite CD for information about installing the device
drivers. Be sure to use the latest Service Packs provided by the
operating system manufacturer, and review the readme file that
accompanies the driver.
Note: The SATA150 adapters do not support the Windows NT 4.0
operating system. See the LSI Logic web site for the latest
operating systems and drivers.
