After deletion, the operating system is notified that the unit was deleted. 

Available Drives (to Create Units)

This section lists the drives on the controller which are not currently 
configured as part of a unit. The Port number, model, capacity, and status are 
all displayed, as they are for drives in existing units.

The Remove Drive link removes a drive from the controller 

so that you can safely unplug it. Any drive in the Available Drives list can be 
removed. 

Use the 

 button to create a unit for use on the current controller. 

Begin by selecting the drives you want to use in the list of Available Drives, 
and then click 

. You will be prompted to select the unit Type, 

Name, Stripe size (if applicable), and unit policy settings.

A window like the one below shows the drives you selected, and lets you 
specify configuration settings.

 Before you click

 

, 

make sure the unit you are removing is 

unmounted and the system is not accessing it. (For example, make sure you are 
not copying files to the unit, and make sure that there are no applications with open 
files on that unit.) You can unmount the unit by selecting the icon for it on the 
desktop and dragging it to the trash. 

If a unit is not unmounted and you remove it, it is the equivalent of physically 
yanking a hard drive out from under the operating system. You could lose data, the 
system could hang, or the controller could reset. 

 

When a unit is deleted, the data will be permanently deleted: the drives 

cannot be reassembled into the same unit. If you want to reassemble the drives on 
another controller and access the existing data, use Remove Unit

 

instead of

 

.
