Re: Errase Logical drive on Embedded NetRAID

Borut:

Generally speaking, you can use the operating system (O/S) to format or delete the partition on a logical drive, regardless of the host controller.

At a lower level, you can use the NetRAID Assistant software to INITIALIZE the logical drive. Just make sure to pick the correct drive, otherwise you'll spend the next couple of days becoming intimately familiar with your backup software.

Or do you mean you want to delete the array configuration entirely from the controller?

hello Borut,
I had a look at the ticket you attached, and see that only two phisical disk are connected to the netraid(id0 and id1).
so as you wrote:
>>On logical drive consist of two drive in mirror and another logical drive consist of one drive in raid0.
-or you have a mismatch configuration with an error at boot time,
-or you cannot have a raid one plus a raid 0 with only two disk, in fact, in order to have this configuration you need to have two disk mirored for raid 1 and one or more disks for raid 0.
-last option is three partitions on a raid one with two phisical disks, then some software mirrror with two partition plus a partition alone.

please could you specifie?

Anyway if you need to remove the last hardware raid you have created, you can use netraid assistant and with the "reclaim" option, selecte the last logical drive and remove it

Re: Errase Logical drive on Embedded NetRAID

There was one drive that was part of the array . that drive was remuved , but i can not remuve logical "radi0" drive. And every time i remotly restart machine , sombody must press F1 so taht machine can boot.
What is the filname , that i have to download so that i can remuve that drive . I can not remuve that drive with defoult software that is part of boot rutine of raid controller.
