Delete logical drive

Ger de Wit — Fri, 01 Feb 2002 15:00:22 GMT

I'am using a LC200r with 3 logical drives and 2 arrayson 1 NETRAID 1M controller.
Array 0
LD0 RAID0 1x18GB
LD2 RAID0 1x18GB
Array 1
LD1 RAID5 4x18GB

This is not the conguration I want, so I want to delete Array 0 without destroying Array 1.
I can delete LD2 but not LD0 because of LD1. Is there a solution so I can delete LD0 without destroying Array 1.

Thanks in advanged.

Ger

There is no "regular" way to do what you want but there is a workaround. Check (and write on paper) all parameters for array1 (physical disks, stripe size, etc), clear configuration (both arrays) and create new array using same disks, stripe size as array1 had. Save configuration and exit WITHOUT initializing array. Your data will be preserved. (new array will be marked as array0 and logical drive will be ld0.)

Dear Enes,

I've done the job. It works great and you make some people very very happy. Including my wife, because I will be home at time. Thank you and with al the best regards.
