Deleting a Volume or RAID Set

As a first step in modifying your RAID configuration, you can delete an existing volume
or RAID set to free up the drives needed to create a new volume or RAID set.

Note:

To delete the computer’s startup volume or the RAID set that the startup volume

is based on, you must first start up the computer from a different disk that has the RAID
software installed, such as

Â

the Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server installation disc that comes with your computer

Â

an external disk on which you have installed Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server using the
installation disc that comes with your computer

Important:

When you delete a RAID set, all volumes based on that RAID set are also

deleted.

To delete a RAID set or a volume:

1

Open RAID Utility and choose the volume or RAID set in the left column.

2

Click Delete Volume or Delete RAID Set.
