Clearing the controller configuration

Clearing the controller configuration destroys the controller metadata, including array configurations and partition information.

CAUTION:

When you clear the controller configuration, all data on the attached media is no longer accessible and cannot be recovered.

Procedure
  1. From the System Utilities screen, select System Configuration > controller > Configure Controller Settings > Clear Configuration.
  2. In the Clear Configuration screen, select one or both of the following:

    • Delete All Array Configurations—deletes all the arrays in the controller. All the data in the arrays is also deleted.

    • Delete Configuration Metadata on All Physical Drives—deletes RAID metadata on the drives that are not part of the array.
