FASTORA DAS-208CC Disk Array

31 Host Chan 1

315 LUN 0

Move to ‘LUN 0’ and press

Enter

315 LUN 0

Erase

All the data will be lost after you choose ‘Erase’. Backup all your data before

proceeding!

Move to ‘Erase’ and press

Enter

. In the same way, delete the partition

mapping of the LUN 1 of the host channel 2.

The next step is to delete the partition 1 of the RAID set 1. Since we have two

partitions on the RAID set 1, we must delete the last one first. If we just delete

the second one, we can still use the first partition if we want. In our case, both

the partitions must be deleted.
