Caution – Possible data loss: If you insert an HDD that has been configured with a
RAID volume into a server that did not previously have its HDDs configured with
RAID volumes, the existing HDDs in the server will be converted to RAID volumes
during automatic synchronization and any existing data on the existing HDDs in the
server are erased. Before permanently removing an HDD that is part of an active
RAID volume, use the MegaRAID Storage Manager-Integrated RAID (MSM-IR) to
delete the RAID volume from the HDD to avoid causing this problem.
