Changes to RAID Array Configuration

NOTE

To safeguard critical data, backup your system using normal
backup procedures before altering device partitions.

Do not alter partitions that contain important data.

When making changes to an existing RAID Array configuration, any existing disk partitions
to be changed (or removed) must first be deleted using Windows NT Disk Administrator.
After they have been deleted, you may use the RAID Array 410 Manager to create new Stor-
agesets (refer to the RAID Array 410 Manager for Windows NT, to make the changes).

To remove disk partitions, run

the following steps:

Program Manager

Administrative Tools

3. Select

4. Continue selecting and deleting the partitions until you have done so to all the partitions

you wish to change.

5. Go back to the

Partition

pull down menu and click on

6. At this point all the disks you intend to reconfigure have been deleted from Windows

NT. You may now reconfigure the RAID Array using the RAID Array 410 Manager as
