Erasing array configurations

Before beginning the deployment process, you might want to erase the current array configuration. The commands in the following examples can be run as part of a script or alone.

To erase the array configuration:

  1. Use the Microsoft® DiskPart utility to clear the partition table:
    1. Create a script file called ErasePart.txt that contains the following commands:

      REM This file instructs Diskpart.exe to select the first disk as

      REM target, then clean the target.

      rescan

      select disk=0

      clean

    2. Run the Microsoft® DiskPart utility to clear the partition table:

      diskpart /s .\ErasePart.txt

  2. Use ACU to erase the array configurations:

    hpacuscripting -i erase.ini

    The erase.ini file is provided in the Toolkit sample files.
