8.4 Deleting the maxCache Device

When you delete the maxCache Device, the component SSDs become available and can be used to create a new logical drive, hot spare, or new maxCache Device.

CAUTION: Be sure that the maxCache controller is quiescent before deleting the maxCache Device; otherwise you may lose data.
Note:

Also, the delete maxCache option is available only when the write-cache policy is set to "write-through" and is the last maxCache logical device in the maxCache array.

To delete the maxCache Device:

  1. In the Enterprise View, select a controller, then select the maxCache Device.
  2. On the ribbon, in the maxCache group, click Delete.
  3. When prompted, click Delete, then click OK. Click Cancel to cancel the action.
