if you have no tape back up make one and proceed as i described,,


when done in acu you can delete the array you do not want the single disk

then pull it out

I do not have a tape drive. And when I pull out all of the drives, I am not allowed to enter the array controller configuration because it detects that there are no drives.

pul out drives reboot press f8 this allows you into controller delete array here,

reboot then add the 2 disks in to their same slots

When I physically take out the disks, I am not given the option of pressing f8 to enter the array utility. I will check to see if the firmware of the controller is older but I am still having the same issue.

I have discovered the problem that I was having. I will post here in case someone else is trying to accomplish the same task but encounters the problems that I did.

I could not use the same controller that contained the OS raided drives. I added a second controller and a hot swappable caddy to the system and all works as expected.

Thanks for trying to assist.
