To Delete A Virtual Disk

To identify which physical disks are included in the virtual disk, click Blink. The LED lights on the physical disks blink for 30-60 seconds.

When deleting a virtual disk, the following considerations apply:

  • There are particular considerations for deleting a virtual disk from a cluster-enabled controller.
  • It is recommended that you reboot the system after deleting the virtual disk. Rebooting the system ensures that the operating system recognizes the disk configuration correctly.
  • If you delete a virtual disk and immediately create a new virtual disk with all the same characteristics as the one that was deleted, the controller recognizes the data as if the first virtual disk were never deleted. In this situation, if you don't want the old data after recreating a new virtual disk, reinitialize the virtual disk.
  • On deleting NON-Raid Disks from the Virtual Disk tab for systems running on Enhanced HBA mode, the corresponding physical disk displays as Ready State. The prefix NON-RAID is removed from the hard disk name.
