Re: We want to remove disk array

The HP NetRAID array allows the deletion of the last configured array only. For example, if you created a RAID 1 first, then a RAID 5, then a RAID 0, you would have 3 arrays. Assuming each array was configured as a single logical drive, the RAID 1 = LD 0, RAID 5 = LD 1, RAID 0 = LD 2. This has nothing to do with what has been configured in the operating system itself. This is specifically what is configured from the HP NetRAID tools. In this scenario you can delete RAID 0 since it is the last configured array.
Otherwise you cannot remove an existing RAID array without the array being reported as FAILED.
