Marking a Drive Offline

If a drive is currently part of a redundant configuration and you want to use it in another configuration, you can use MegaRAID Storage Manager commands to remove the drive from the first configuration and change the drive state to Unconfigured Good.

After you perform this procedure, all data on that drive is lost.

To remove the drive from the configuration without harming the data on the virtual drive click Go To >> Physical Drive >>Make Drive Offline from the MegaRAID Storage Manager main menu.

The drive status changes to Offline.
