hi

seeing this command, for clarification:

you have 3 Arrays: Array A - B - C and your trying to delete C as a Array. right?

just for information:
because that command delete can work on a controller, Array or logical drive.

for entire controller would be
Controller slot=1 delete forced

for an Array where you have 3 Array A - B - C
and you want to delete B
controller slot=1 Array B delete forced

for deleting a logical drive would
referring the Array and the logical drive in it
controller slot=1 array B logicaldrive 2

I hope this cal help
let us know anything else

regards

hi

according to your:

=> ctrl all show config

you want delete Array C in Smart Array P600 in Slot 3 which has just one logical drive so the command would be:

controller slot=3 array C delete forced

I hope this can help you

hi again

the only thing was the slot number that you can get using he command you used and also that command does not need to specific a logical drive because Array C only has one logical drive in your environment
