Hello,
Please assist with the proper procedure to disable an existing RAID 5 array without messing anything up on the OS side etc.
Brief history - I recently migrated the data which sits on the RAID 5 array to a SAN storage iSCSI volume and now I would like to recover the 3 disks which are being used in the RAID 5 array. I do not care what happens to the data on the disks being used in the RAID 5. My paramount concern is to ensure proper removal of the RAID 5 array without screwing up anything on the C:\ drive or RAID 1 configuration as this is being performed on a production server.
Can anyone please walk me through the steps involved in going into the DELL array configuration utility (CTRL + M at boot) on a Power Edge 2850 and PROPERLY eradicating the existing RAID 5 array? I do not want to harm anything on the other existing RAID 1 which is there.
Thanks in advance!
