How to delete saved network data
Use the GigaStor Control Panel to delete the data collected on the active
instance(s) on the GigaStor.
Note: If you use multiple active instances, which is not recommended, you
must repeat these steps for each active instance.
To delete the GigaStor saved data captured by an active instance:
2. Click Tools > Delete All Instance Capture Data , and select Yes in the
resulting dialog box.
After a few seconds, all data written to the .odat and .ometa files in the disk
volumes will have been deleted.
3. (Optional) If you have more than one active instance, repeat the above steps
for each active instance.
The data captured to disk by GigaStor active instance(s) has been deleted.
How to reformat the RAID volume
Use the Windows disk formatting utility to remove all file references from the D:
disk volume. For added security, you can optionally overwrite the entire volume
with empty bits.
To perform a disk format of the D: drive disk volume from within Windows:
1. Within Windows, click Start > Windows System > This PC .
2. Right-click the D: drive and select Format .
3. Choose either a quick format or full format. Do one of the following only:
●
For a quicker disk operation and less data security, ensure the Quick
Format option is selected and click Start .
●
For a slower disk operation and more data security, clear (disable) the
Quick Format option and click Start .
The D: disk drive volume is now being reformatted. This either deletes and
recreates the file system structure only (quick format), or it overwrites all data
on the volume with empty bits (non-quick format).
The D: drive volume has been successfully reformatted.
How to delete RAID sets
Use the Areca user interface to delete the existing RAID set from your GigaStor
appliance.
Delete the existing RAID set or sets and rebuild again for future use.
1. In Windows, open the program MRAID > ArcHttpSrvGui .
The program starts, but it immediately minimizes to the Windows taskbar.
2. Find the icon in the taskbar, and double-click the icon to view the Areca RAID
application in a web browser.
