Summary:

These instructions will show you how to delete a Virtual Disk in a Pre-Boot environment. Please note that this process will destroy ALL data on the Virtual Disk; do not proceed if this data is important to you.

Explanation of Behavior:

• If, at some point, you wish to increase or decrease the array's size. The only way to accomplish this is to break and re-create a new array with the desired attributes.
• A RAID puncture is often unrecoverable and requires deleting and rebuilding the array from scratch.
• You wish to change the RAID Type, say from RAID 5 to RAID 6

Step By Step:

1. Press the F2 key during the POST to open the System Setup menu. Or press the F10 key to open the Lifecycle Controller menu and select System Setup → Advanced Hardware Configuration.

3. On the Device Settings screen, click the target RAID controller. After selecting the 14th generation system controller, select Main Menu on the Dashboard View.
