Clearing a Storage Configuration from a Controller

You can use the Add New Configuration option to add a new storage
configuration while keeping the existing configuration. Alternatively, you
can clear the existing storage configuration from a controller and then
create a totally new configuration or load a previously saved
configuration file.

Caution:

Before you clear a configuration, be sure to save any data
that you want to keep. Clearing a configuration deletes all
data from the disks of the existing configuration. Be sure
that the operating system is not installed on this
configuration.

To clear a configuration from a controller, follow these steps:

1.

Select a controller icon in the left panel of the MegaRAID Storage
Manager window.

2.

On the menu bar, select Operations -> Advanced Operations ->
Configuration -> Clear Configuration.

A Warning message appears.

3.

Click Yes to clear the configuration or No to cancel the operation.
