Using New Configuration and View/Add Configuration

When you select the New Configuration menu option, the CU deletes the
existing arrays and logical drives and replaces them with the new
configuration that you specify. The View/Add Configuration menu option
lets you view the existing configuration or add to the existing
configuration, if possible.

Caution:

If you want to keep the existing data on the storage
configuration, use View/Add Configuration instead of New
Configuration.
