Deleting a disk array
To preserve the data on the disk array, you must first back up all files in the logical volumes and file systems on the disk array before removing the disk array from its volume group.
Attention: After a disk array is deleted, it
cannot be accessed. All data will be lost. A disk array that is currently
in use or opened cannot be deleted. Also, if a disk array command
(such as a disk creation command) is in progress, that disk array
cannot be deleted.
To delete the array, do the following: - Start the IBM® SAS Disk Array Manager by following the steps in Using the Disk Array Manager.
- Select Delete a IBM SAS Disk Array.
- Select the IBM SAS RAID Controller.
- Select the disk array to delete.
When the disk array has been deleted, any Active Array Member
pdisks will become Active Array Candidate pdisks.
