Re: Proliant 1600 SmartArray 3200 remove drives
The config is now like this:
Array A
- Logical disk(1) - 3x36.4 - RAID 5
- 3x72.8 - Unused Space
But the lights keep blinking.

Re: Proliant 1600 SmartArray 3200 remove drives
If not, click on the "unused" space so it's highlighted and click the delete key.
It should then be removed from the array, save changes and let us know!

Re: Proliant 1600 SmartArray 3200 remove drives
So you have deleted the logical drive and are now trying to reclaim the drives.
Bram ,
An array is a collecting or drives; when you create an array you get unused space, which comprises of all the drive in the array put together. When you create a logical drive, it spans across all drives in the array. A logical drive in the array uses all the physicals drives in an array. In your case you have 2 logical drive and both of them span across all the physical drives.
Now you have ended up with some free space and one logical drive; this free space is also spread across all physical drive.
You are right when you say that you will loose Logical Drive 1 if you try and remove three PHYSICAL drives - your RAID 5 Logical Drive 1 can handle the loss or just one PHYSICAL drive.
You cannot remove your 3 PHYSICAL drives from the array using the ACU without data loss. It is advisable to have different logical drives under different arrays so that changes to one do not affect the other.

Re: Proliant 1600 SmartArray 3200 remove drives
I already had saved the configuration...
Then...
I've tried the del key on the unused space, but nothing happens then.
I also tried to modify the array and remove the physical disks, then I get the message that the complete array will be destroyed.
I've uploaded some pictures to our FTP...

Re: Proliant 1600 SmartArray 3200 remove drives
Damn, I thought that would be the problem cos the unused space wasn't 3 times 72.8 GB, so space had to be spanned.
Is there any way to free the 3 72.8 GB disks? Or do I really have to remove the array?

Re: Proliant 1600 SmartArray 3200 remove drives
Make a ghost, then delete the Array, then create a new Array as in the old situation and put the ghost image back.
Tx for the quick help...I both gave you another 10 points.
I`ll let you know if it worked out, i`m going to start within 3 hours with the ghost.
